I am currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Horticulture Department of Auburn University working in Dr. Daniel Wells's Lab. My Doctoral Dissertation focussed on utilizing aquaculture effluent efficiently in cucumber production through substrate choice and nutrient management. My current projects focus on modeling aquaponic tomato production to optimize the use of aquaculture effluent and sink manipulation trials for tomato cultivars grown with aquaculture effluent. I obtained my M.Sc. degree in international Horticulture from the Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany, and my B.Sc. degree in agriculture technology from the University for Development Studies, Nyankpala-Campus, Ghana. I am also affiliated with CSIR-Savanna Agriculture Research Institute as a Principal Technologist for vegetable improvement.
