Emmanuel Aboah Boateng, graduated with top honors from the
University of Mines and Technology in Ghana, made a
pivotal choice to further his studies by pursuing a Ph.D.
in computer engineering at Tennessee Tech University.
This decision served as a launching pad for his career
in artificial intelligence (AI) at Microsoft.
Presently, Aboah serves as an applied scientist at
Microsoft, a position he secured through his
involvement in the highly selective Microsoft AI
Development Acceleration Program. Working alongside
diverse teams, he collaborates to integrate AI into
Microsoft’s products.
Aboah attributes much of his success to his time at
Tech, where he built a solid academic foundation,
engaged in invaluable research opportunities, and
experienced personal growth.
Throughout his doctoral studies, Aboah focused on AI
and cyber-physical systems security, refining his skills
through internships with tech giants like Apple Inc. and
Meta Platforms Inc. He also led multifaceted research
projects and assumed leadership roles within his
research domain.
In addition to academic pursuits, Aboah found a
supportive community through student-led
organizations like the African Student’s Union (ASU)
and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).
These groups not only offered cultural connections but
also provided tailored resources and opportunities
aligned with his academic and career goals.
Way to go, Emmanuel!
