I am a Food Scientist and Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, specializing in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), chemometrics, and machine learning for food quality evaluation, safety, and adulteration detection. My research integrates multivariate analysis, predictive modelling, and spectroscopy to develop rapid, non-destructive analytical methods for assessing authenticity and nutritional quality of foods. I have authored… More on ORCID
