From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Naa Dedei Tagoe is a senior lecturer and researcher in the Department of Geomatic Engineering at the University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa, and holds a PhD in Geomatics from the University of Cape Town. She also serves as a member of the FIG Climate Compass Task Force.[1] She is a geomatics engineer and licensed land surveyor where she is involved in photogrammetry, geospatial technologies and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mapping.[2]
At an early age, Dr. Dedei Tagoe developed an interest in geomatics and spatial sciences. In an interview, she said that her father, who was into surveying, introduced her to technical drawing and fieldwork activities which influenced her decision to pursue a career in geomatics engineering. During her university days, she was among the few women in a prominent male-dominated engineering program. This experience shaped her to advocate for women's participation in science and engineering.[3][4] She has over 15 years of experience in managing health research capacity strengthening programs and building institutional research.
