• Key Research Areas: Restoration Ecology, Seed Dispersal, Ecological Theories

Recent publications highlight their work on natural regeneration of tropical forests in abandoned agricultural fields in Ghana, comprehensive frameworks for vegetation succession, and theoretical advancements in successional processes. These studies emphasize tropical forest dynamics, ecosystem modeling, and biodiversity conservation.

Current projects include Water use by secondary tropical forests (2019–present), which explores ecological processes in regenerating forests. Their research outputs have been referenced in Wikipedia, shared on X, and accessed by 291 readers on Mendeley.
