Jeffery Kweku Dadson
The researcher's research focuses on leveraging advanced analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, chemometrics, and physicochemistry to detect adulterants in fuels from both chemical and physical perspectives. This encompasses studies on diesel detection using NMR spectroscopy combined with machine learning, evaluating physicochemical parameters for detection, and examining the knowledge and perception of forensic science among junior police officers in Ghana. Their work bridges technical innovation with real-world applications across diverse domains while also engaging with the education and awareness surrounding forensic science.
Faculty Biography
Jeffery Kweku Dadson is a Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology with a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and an MPhil. in Forensic Science. He aims to build and sustain a forensic chemistry and toxicology career. His research interests cover various aspects of forensic science mostly forensic biochemistry, forensic chemistry, and general criminalistics. Dr. Dadson and his team are currently involved in the chemical profiling of several narcotics seized in Ghana for forensic purposes, characterization of writing inks in Ghana, and spectroscopic identification of body fluids for forensic identification. He has also conducted research to develop chemometric models for the characterization and quantification of adulterants in automobile fuels on the Ghanaian market.Dr. Dadson is a Trainee Affiliate of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) and a member of the Ghana Academy of Forensic Sciences (GAFS)
