Questions that continue beyond a single experiment.
Individual papers answer bounded questions. These programmes describe the longer lines of inquiry that connect experiments, students, collaborators and methods. Funding, role and programme status are stated where they are established.
Fluted pumpkin genetics and improvement
A long-running programme on genetic diversity, marketable leaf yield, seedling variation, floral biology, reproductive biology and landrace characterisation in Telfairia occidentalis. Current work recorded in the CV includes identification and sequencing of the SRY gene in fluted pumpkin.

Work includes Bambara groundnut characterisation and a current line of inquiry into awareness, consumption and desirable traits of underutilised legumes among Nigerian youths.
Research technology and scientific validation
Exploring how design-aware software and bounded AI can support agricultural analysis without replacing experimental logic, assumptions checking or researcher judgement. VivaSense is the principal platform through which this work is being developed and validated.
