About me:
As a young professional, I am passionate and fascinated about the several ways my knowledge of structure and property relationship of materials can greatly impact on the society, and improve its general wellbeing. I am a researcher in the area of materials for health, concerned with the study of bio-materials for the detection and diagnosis of diseases, from cancer, to other terminal diseases and pathogens in water. I hope to greatly make an impact in the health industry, development and policy organizations in the area of health and general wellbeing, and therefore contribute immensely to global good health and well-being (SDG 3)
Education:
- B. Eng., Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria
- MSc. Materials Science and Engineering, African University of Science and Technology, Abuja.
- PhD (In-View), Materials Science and Engineering, African University of Science and Technology, Abuja.
Research:
With the rising mortality rate for most terminal diseases such as breast cancers attributed to the challenges in early detection, my research is focused on more effective and efficient mechanisms for the detection of cancers using the shear assay technique for the identification of mechanical biomarkers.
