About
I am a Master’s student in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (expected 2027) with a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Covenant University, Nigeria. My research focuses on ceramic materials, electrochemistry, and sustainable innovations such as solid-state synthesis, conductivity modeling, and PET brick development. I am also the founder of UniHub, an AI-powered educational startup, and recipient of the $5,000 Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Grant (2025). With leadership experience as a UTA Building Manager, national champion with Enactus Nigeria (2022), and professional background in digital marketing, I combine academic excellence with entrepreneurship and community service through the Red Cross, Drug-Free Healthy Future NGO, and student organizations at UTA.
