Prof, Buri is currently the Head of Department of the Soil Resources Management, CSIR College of Science and Technology (CCST), a position he has held since 2019. He also lectures and supervises postgraduate students of the college. As Chief Research Scientist, he has conducted extensive research, with a variety of interdisciplinary teams on soil resource management, water management, environmental management and soil management/plant nutrition and climate smart agriculture on a variety of crops notably rice, maize, cassava, yam, sweet potato, cowpea, soybean and tomato across the different agro-ecological zones in Ghana and beyond. Specific areas include integrated nutrient (organic, inorganic, systems, etc.) management, environmental management and conservation agriculture. Worked with several International Organizations such as Africa Rice Centre based in Ivory Coast, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) based in Nigeria, International Water Management Institute (IWMI) based in Ghana; Japan International Research Centre for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) and Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) both based in Japan.  I have also worked and/or collaborated with Universities in Japan (Kinki University, Shimane University, Tsukuba University) and Internal/Local Universities such as Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), University of Development Studies (UDS) and the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
