Research Philosophy – Dr. Thomas Akowuah
As a researcher, I believe in bridging science, technology, and practical solutions to empower communities, industries, and policymakers. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that research must be action-oriented, technologically driven, and industry-relevant—especially in the areas of agribusiness, livestock enterprises, interior manufacturing, and skilled trades.
I approach research with curiosity, integrity, and a strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation. I embrace emerging technologies—from data analytics and digital tools to automation and AI—as powerful enablers for solving complex agricultural and industrial challenges. I believe that integrating technology into research not only improves accuracy and efficiency but also creates scalable solutions that can transform livelihoods.
My work is guided by collaboration across disciplines, and I strive to make my findings accessible and applicable—from academic circles to farmers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs. I am also passionate about mentoring the next generation of researchers and practitioners, equipping them to use both traditional knowledge and modern technologies for impact.
