A. TEACHING AND RESEARCH STATEMENT My research interest is focused on using my expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer to design and optimize the efficiency of thermal and fluid engineering equipment. Also, I use CFD and other digital tools to facilitate and enhance engineering education. During my PhD study at the University of Pretoria, I developed a novel heat sink model that combines microchannels with micro pin-fins for microelectronic cooling. My passion for inspiring more girls to take up careers in engineering motivated me to join the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) as a professional member in 2019. In collaboration with other SWE Professionals, I established SWE UNILAG collegiate on campus which has grown from 30 members in 2021 to almost 200 members. Also, I have been involved STEM outreaches to secondary schools where girls have been introduced to additive manufacturing, python programming and industry tours. I have also led teams to organize student innovation challenges and partnerships
