The JUAMI program, jointly funded by the US National Science Foundation, the Global Initiatives Program of Northwestern University's McCormick College of Engineering and the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, aims to build collaborations in materials research between Africa and the United States, as well as other countries.

"I am deeply honored and encouraged to receive this recognition," Agyemang said. "Thanks to my adviser, Dr. M.A Edwards, for his support."
