Aspiring food process engineer with a focus on innovation.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated food process engineer currently pursuing an MPhil at the University of Ghana, with a strong foundation in food product and process development. My academic journey has been enriched by an exchange program at Koç University in Turkey, where I expanded my knowledge in chemical and biological engineering. My thesis on developing healthier mayonnaise alternatives showcases my commitment to food quality and safety, aiming to provide sustainable options for diverse consumers.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant at the University of Ghana, where I conducted extensive research on traditional foods and their processing methods. My internships at Pioneer Food Cannery and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research have equipped me with practical skills in process control and food safety, allowing me to contribute effectively to projects that enhance operational efficiency and product quality.
With a passion for innovation and a strong academic background, I am eager to leverage my skills in data analysis, process design, and project management to make a meaningful impact in the food industry. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to contribute to food security and sustainable practices.
