I have over 18 years of experience in research and development. I research and develop in the areas of lignocellulosic materials, natural resources, agriculture and the environment. Again, I am experienced at grant writing, publishing, data management, extension or advisory services and public engagement. Also, I demonstrate laboratories, experimentation and fieldwork to trainees of various experiences.

EDUCATION

I pursued my BSc and MPhil in Lignocellulosic (Wood) Material Sc. & Eng. at the FRNR, KNUST (Kumasi, Ghana). Further, I pursued PhD in NanoLignocellulosic (Wood) Material Sc. & Eng. at CEMPS, Uni. of Exeter Exeter, England).
