Graduate Research Assistant
Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR
• Project: I designed a wick structure that characterized and quantified transient and steady state mass flow rate through various wick constructions for thermal
applications.
• The copper oxide nanostructure that I grew on the plain wick showed better-enhanced wicking, attractive for the choice of wick for the solar desalination plant.
• Investigated the use of different capillary dimensions in flow rate optimization and designed the experiment using advanced engineering technologies and software.
• Different manufacturers were called up in the middle of the pandemic to order needed materials such as wicks and copper pipes.
• Set up the experiment in the laboratory during the height of the pandemic.
• Review and QC test data before I report it to my professors.

Petroleum Engineer, Production Assistant
Dubri Oil Company, Nigeria Limited, Lagos
• I participated in the design of the detailed step-by-step drilling, work-over, and completion programs.
• I participated in drilling and work-over operation engineering duties related to assigned onshore rigs.
• I was responsible for all tests, documentation, and monitoring of quality diesel supply used on the rig.
• I successfully monitored production facilities to maintain set points and achieved an uninterrupted operation process for 5 years, maintaining production values.
• Collated daily production activities reports at the flow station (both personnel and equipment).
• Ensured start-off shift orientation and shift hand-over were effective.

Technical Assistant
Dubri Oil Company, Nigeria Limited, Edo
• Provided technical support, handled data reconciliation and upkeep, and report findings to the production
manager.
• I liaised with DPR and other government regulatory bodies on petroleum matters in Edo State to conduct regular facility and maintenance inspection.
• Gave technical knowledge and input from the flow station and provided feedback to operations manager and managing director as needed.
• I designed a model used for quality and quantity check of the diesel supply to the flow station and the rig site, saved 30 % of the money spent on generator
maintenance annually.

Playing soccer, listening to music, and
floating on the river.
I love to play soccer, listen to music, and float on the river. Floating is my newfound love, especially during the summer. Floating helps me meditate and connect with nature, hence feeling invigorated after the exercise.
