Solomon Akeyo
@solomonakeyo
I am an analytical chemist specializing in clean-energy stove testing and fuel efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am an analytical chemist with a BSc in Chemistry and hands-on experience in laboratory analysis and durability testing. I focus on clean-energy solutions and practical fuel-efficiency improvements for cooking technologies.
In my current role as a Laboratory Analyst and Durability Expert, I apply thermochemistry to test efficiency, durability and fire power of charcoal, firewood and induction stoves, and I analyse calorific value across fuel types. I also conduct air quality monitoring and install thermo-equipment.
Previously I worked as an apprentice chemical analyst performing quality control checks on detergents and milk products, and I contributed to the development of fuel-efficient ECOA stoves. My work blends lab rigor with field installation, basic electrical work and welding.
I communicate results clearly, handle product monitoring and customer-facing tasks, and use Python for data analysis and web development. I seek roles where I can advance clean-energy access, apply R&D skills, and deliver measurable community impact.
