03 About
Profile / Academic journey
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.
More about my backgroundDelta State University, Abraka. A foundation in physics alongside formal teacher education.
University of Port Harcourt. Thesis on the dispersion of radioactive effluent from nuclear power stations.
University of Port Harcourt. Thesis on vector-meson effects in the relativistic mean field description of nuclear matter.
University of Port Harcourt. Research focus on neutronic analysis and core optimisation of a small modular reactor concept for grid integration in Nigeria.
Working principles
Accuracy, clarity and usefulness, in that order.
04 Current focus
Research status / Updated November 2026
A transparent snapshot of current research. Items marked “In preparation” are not published or peer reviewed.
Ongoing PhD research examining reactor neutronics, core optimisation, and the potential integration of small modular reactor technology into Nigeria’s electricity system.
Theoretical nuclear physics work related to vector-meson self-interaction and relativistic mean field modelling.
Work focused on an analytical treatment of the advection-diffusion equation and the dispersion of radioactive effluent.
Conference contribution presented at the NIP Conference, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria, in 2021.
