I hold a MPhil in Wood Technology (2017) from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana where I initially obtained a BSc in Natural Resources Management (2013). I worked as a Teaching Assistant and Graduate Research Assistant at the Department of Wood Science, KNUST during my national service and graduate studies, respectively. I served as a Research Assistant with the Soil Fertility Section, CSIR-Savanna Agricultural Research Institute, Tamale from 2018 to 2021 and thereafter worked as an Assistant Lecturer at the Tamale Technical University, Ghana.
I enrolled in a PhD in Forestry in November 2023. My research entails assessing the decay resistance of plantation-grown ground-durable eucalyptus species. It will focus on exploring non-destructive evaluation techniques such as NIR spectroscopy to predict decay resistance of plantation-grown eucalypts for utilization as outdoor wood products such as vineyard posts under the expert guidance of A. Prof. Clemens Altaner, Prof. Tripti Singh, A. Prof. Luis Apiolaza and Dr. Vega Xu.
