- I am an early career scientist with a PhD in Botany (Plant Pathology) from the University of Lagos. I am presently a lecturer at the Department of Botany, University of Lagos, Nigeria. My present research focuses on using edible coatings from natural sources, nanoparticles, and nanocapsules synthesized from edible coatings integrated with essential oils and extracts from plants to enhance the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
