Profile
I have a good background knowledge of Materials Science and Engineering with BSc and MSc degrees from Obafemi Awolowo University and University of Lagos respectively. I obtained a PhD in Mechanical Engineering From the University of Leeds. I have specifically carried out extensive research in scaling in oilfield dealing with mineral scale problems for the Flow Assurance and Scale Team (FAST) - a joint industry project led by Leeds and Heriot Watt Universities which includes over 20 oil and gas companies. I work in multidisciplinary research teams with collaboration from the industries, exploring real-life challenges to improve understanding and drive new strategies.
