G. Ayorkor Korsah (formerly G. Ayorkor Mills-Tettey) is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and Robotics at Ashesi University in Ghana.[1]
Early life and education
Korsah grew up in Ghana and Nigeria, and as a child, she wanted to be an astronaut and an engineer.[2][3]
Korsah majored in engineering at Dartmouth College, graduating summa cum laude in June 2003. She attended Carnegie Mellon University for her doctoral work in computer science,[4] obtaining a PhD in 2011 for her thesis, "Exploring bounded optimal coordination for heterogeneous teams with cross-schedule dependencies".[5]
Career
Korsah is a senior lecturer in computer science and robotics at Ashesi University, a private university in Ghana, where she teaches courses in artificial intelligence, robotics, algorithms, and programming. [6]
To expand robotics education in Africa, Korsah co-founded the African Robotics Network (AFRON) in 2012 with Ken Goldberg, a robotics professor at the University of California, Berkeley.[7] The purpose of AFRON is to enhance robotics education and encourage members of robotics communities in Africa to collaborate.[2] One of AFRON's first endeavors was a $10 robot design challenge which it co-sponsored with the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.[8] Korsah and Goldberg were awarded the 2013 Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award for their work in founding the network and the "$10 Robot Design” challenge.[9][10]
Korsah has been featured on BBC News discussing how humans and machines can collaborate and combine their strengths in the future.[11]
