Profile

I am a Natural Resources Management professional and Sustainable Biomaterial Scientist with a multidisciplinary background in sustainable biomaterial mechanics and engineering, sustainable bio-waste utilisation and circular bioeconomy, leadership and change management, wood, paper, and paperboard packaging systems, and environmental stewardship. My work focuses on using sustainable biomaterials to develop innovative, bio-based solutions that support circular economy goals, renewable materials, and responsible natural resource use. Through research and applied collaborations, I advance knowledge of sustainable biomaterials and product properties, and value-added applications that support environmentally responsible development and economic resilience. 
I am a member of the Academic Board of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology,  an AI Champion for the Africa AI Upskilling Programme (Google DeepMind/FATE Foundation/AIMS), and a College AI Liaison Officer (College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, KNUST).

I am also an Editorial Board Member for the Wood & Fiber Science journal, and an ACS- and Publons-certified peer reviewer, actively engaging with emerging research in sustainable biomaterials, sustainability, and natural resource management. I am a reviewer of many international peer-reviewed journals. I have worked with the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT, International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), International Cocoa Initiative (Switzerland), and many other international and local organizations. 

I am passionate about bridging science, policy, and industry to promote sustainable material innovation and evidence-based approaches to sustainable biomaterial utilisation and natural resource management. I welcome collaborations that advance sustainable biomaterials and products research, and responsible resource utilization.
