I am deeply interested in the determination of Agri-food integrity from farm to folk. This interest has become even more pronounced after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic where many food systems where weakened. With my background in Agriculture, Food Science and Engineering, I have grown and developed myself to become a global expert in food integrity and particularly interested in the application of portable sensor technology for the measurement of Agrochemical inputs, food quality and food fraud. Currently, my research focuses on ensuring Food authenticity from farm to fork by using rapid, onsite and user-friendly detection techniques (E-tongue, E-nose, NIR Spectroscopy, SERS). Thus, my broad focus is Africa without food fraud and with mobile food integrity laboratory.

Since I have 2006 worked in the Department of Agricultural Engineering, School of Agriculture, University of Cape Coast and rose through the ranks from Research Assistant (2006) to Senior lecturer (2016) and Associate Professor 2021. From 2011-2014, he had prestigious Jasmine scholarship for his PhD in Food Science and Engineering leading to the development of novel non-destructive detection of Ghana cocoa bean quality and authenticity by using rapid Sensor techniques coupled with Chemometrics. With over 55 publications in reputable International journals, and with dint of hard work and dedication to research, I have won various local, regional and international grants and subsequently was adjudged Excellent PhD candidate award (2014) during his doctoral studies in Jiangsu University, P.R of China and later on in 2016, 2017, and 2019 was also awarded Best Evolving Researcher Award and 2021 won Best Evolved Research Award (Directorate of Research, Innovation and Consultancy) in the University of Cape Coast. Currently I am also a selection committee board member for UNESCO-OWSD, expert advisor to UN-FAO/IAEA on application of field deployable tools on assessing authenticity and quality of food and an external reviewer to several international reputable journals.
