Have over 12 years experience as an animal nutritionist and a researcher in areas relating to mycotoxicology. Good experience in research design, statistical analysis, interpretation and reporting of scientific results through publications in peer reviewed international journals. Have a PhD degree in Biomedical Technology and MSc/B-Tech degrees in Animal Science. Have been working with many researchers from various disciplines and also supervised and co-supervised a number of B-Tech and MSc students. Passionate about research and is currently a part-time lecturer on Research Methodology and soon a postdoctoral student at the University of Johannesburg.
