Comfort received her BS in Petrochemical Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. She interned at Twin City Energy (thermal power plant) as a process engineer for three months and spent her final year designing a methanol synthesis plant to produce methanol from syngas via biomass gasification. After graduation, she researched with Prof. Nana Yaw Asiedu on determining the composition of bio-oil obtained from high-temperature pyrolysis of cocoa pod husk.

Comfort is currently researching selective CO2 hydrogenation.

Outside of research, she enjoys listening to music and watching anime and cartoons.
