What I'm looking for

I'm interested in expanding into advanced materials applications in extreme environments, including high-temperature systems and refractory materials, across energy, aerospace, and defence.

At The Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti, I support materials engineering and metallography training and contributed to setting up a metallography laboratory. I also provide technical mentoring and academic support to engineering students.

In my postgraduate research at the Advanced Materials and Electrochemical Research Group, I analysed API 5L steel degradation in acidic environments and developed eco-friendly nanoparticle-based corrosion inhibitors. I used electrochemical testing and SEM/EDS and XRD characterisation to inform corrosion mitigation and material selection.
