03 About
Profile / Academic journey
From physics education to nuclear research.
A multidisciplinary practice built on formal science training, classroom experience and hands-on technical work.
I work where research, technology and learning meet.
I hold an M.Sc. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Port Harcourt and am pursuing a PhD in Theoretical Physics there. My research interests include nuclear physics, nuclear energy, reactor neutronics and scientific modelling.
Alongside research, I have worked in telecommunications and fibre-network operations, IT support and digital learning, and I have taught Physics and Mathematics across Nigerian, British, Canadian/Ontario and New York P-12-aligned curricula.
Graphic design and video editing extend that work into visual communication: making technical and educational ideas clearer for the people who need them.
