In line with the mandate of ACE-FUELS to strengthen research and innovation through strategic collaborations, the Centre hosted a Burkinabe academic, Dr Souleymane Kologo, as visiting researcher.

Dr Kologo is a lecturer and researcher at Joseph KI-ZERBO University (UJKZ), Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, in the field of electrochemistry and analytical chemistry. He is also a hydrogen and fuel cells technologies analyst and consultant at ALPHEA Hydrogène, Forbach. During his time at ACE-FUELS, he participated actively in academic discussions, shared useful ideas, and made a special presentation highlighting aspects of his ongoing research in Burkina Faso.

Upon completion of his visit, the scholar thanked the Centre Leader, Prof. Oguzie, for offering him the opportunity, and commended the students for carrying out researches that focus on solving domestic problems. In addition, he expressed his satisfaction with the state-of-the-art facilities at the Centre, while promising to recommend the Centre’s programmes to students at Joseph KI-ZERBO University.

Dr Kologo was indeed a welcome and value addition to the Centre, and we wish him the very best in his research and career
