Francis is a multidisciplinary researcher with expertise in the higher education sector, in teaching, research, and development. Trained in community development, environment, and resource management, his research spans across areas such as wellbeing, migration, climate change (adaptation and loss and damage), natural resource management, and indigenous knowledge systems. His focus has been to contribute data and knowledge so that policymakers may take measures to solve social problems and ensure the quality of life of people, especially in developing countries. He is currently researching the wellbeing of migrants in the informal economic sector in his home country, Ghana, using an innovative multidimensional wellbeing framework. 

Based on his extensive experience, Francis' research has been driven by empirical evidence, fieldwork, and primary data collection in sub-Saharan Africa. His expertise lies in qualitative research methods; however, he also has a solid background in quantitative methods.
