A. Personal Statement

I possess about two decades of engineering-based industrial works experience before joining academia. I love research and imparting knowledge. My focus is in the areas of developing engineering systems that brings comfort to mankind and their goods, as in reducing or even removing damaging effects of vibrations on vehicles, pipelines, airplanes and other systems. I also extend my research works to the use of Artificial Intelligence to proffer sustainable and ethical solutions especially for hazards caused by leaking/vandalized pipelines conveying highly inflammable substances. I have the goal of always transforming concepts into reality. Recently, the idea of harnessing waste heat and carbon(II)oxide generated via burning of charcoal, to produce clean energy/power directly using Hall Effects, is a research that I am gathering a team for.
