A Ghanaian Professor of Applied Mathematics, Ebenezer Bonyah has been named among world’s top 2% scientists in the 2022 Stanford University Global Ranking.
The Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics Education (DME) at the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) in Ghana was rated for the second time among top global scientists following his appearance in the global top list in 2021.
Professor Ebenezer Bonyah said the 2022 (2%) global ranking is an improved version of his maiden entry score.
Prof. Bonyah made the feat in the midst of about 100,000 top scientists, doctors, and engineers who were featured in The Stanford University Global Ranking for the year.

Stanford University in the course of the ranking considered wide range of factors in positioning the individual scientists, doctors and research engineers into the top 2% threshold.
The ranking considered the number of academic papers the scientists have produced, and number of citations received for their research works during the year under review.
The University also factored the H-index and Hm-index of 2020 and 2021 as well as the number of academic papers authored by a single scientist and citations received on them.
Again, the ratio of total citations to the distinct citing papers, self-citation percentage, and an author’s first and second top-ranked scientific-metrix category (subfield) were also considered.
Prof. Bonyah is currently the Acting Director of Research, Innovation, and Development at the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi.
The Associate Professor has maintained a high performance among the world’s top-ranked scientists and researchers in recent years.
Prof. Ebenezer Bonyah emerged as the 50th most cited scholar in Ghana and 120978th in the world in the AD Scientific Index 2021 World Scientist and University Rankings.
