Johanne Ekue received her bachelor’s degree in physics from the Department of Physics at the University of Ghana, and a Master’s degree in Space Geophysics from the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil, with a concentration in Atmospheric Science. She is currently a Marie Curie PhD fellow in the DUST-DN Doctoral Network, affiliated with both the National Observatory of Athens and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Her PhD research focuses on developing a new scattering database for desert dust, incorporating realistic measurements of particle size, shape, and refractive index obtained through in-situ observations.
