I have a PhD in plant and food biochemistry obtained in 2014 from Anand Agricultural University in India, from where I moved to Cameroon to start a junior academic career as an Assistant Lecturer at the Universite des Montagnes. After 3 years of rich experience in Cameroon, aiming for more exposure at an international level, I secured a postdoctoral fellowship at Ghent University in Belgium in 2017.
The short stay in Belgium allowed me to strengthen my skills in advanced methods in food analysis, which lead me to the School of Food Science and Nutrition of the University of Leeds from 2018 to 2021, where I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in biochemical food safety within the AFRICAP Project.
I joined Canterbury Christ Church University, Section of Natural and Applied Sciences, in December 2021. I have multidisciplinary skills in agricultural sciences, plant and food biochemistry, analytical chemistry, pathology, and molecular biology; which are applied for: increasing crop productivity and food demand; improving the health of farmers and consumers, while safeguarding our environment. I am interested in research at the nexus of food systems, climate change, nutrition and health.
