Emmanuel Opoku

I am a determined research assistant at plant ecology physiology laboratory and a Ph.D student in General plant production. I have a diverse background from biological sciences to general agriculture, making me more resourceful in directing my research to solve broad societal problems. I have gained knowledge about ecophysiology and plant production studies. I am diligent, industrious, and proficient in conducting laboratory and field experiments while training new staff on research methods and data collection procedures. I have an excellent organizational and analytical skills combined with unparalleled dedication to research excellence. Skilled in conceptualization, design and implementation of crop adaptation technique research.
