He holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in Geological Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University, Ghana, a Postgraduate Diploma from McGill University, an M.Sc. from The University of Calgary and a Ph.D. (1994) in Geophysics from Georgia Institute of Technology. Prof. Boadu's research interests involve use of electrical and acoustic measurements, as well as modeling the characterization of porous media: rocks and soils in the earth's subsurface and also biological tissues. His research has implications in human tissue characterization and modeling, as well as in reservoir characterization in groundwater and petroleum resource exploration. Fred uses fractals, neural networks and fuzzy logic to enhance the prediction and characterization of the porous media.
