Biography

I hold a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Nigeria, where I was introduced to the concept of energy efficiency and its significance in improving energy access. Pursuing an MPhil in Energy Technologies offered an opportunity to understand, in-depth, the existing energy systems and evaluation tools in green economies and further explore transferable lessons in energy transition applicable to developing countries like mine. Recognising the impact of energy research in buildings, especially in my country, I am committed to contributing original research that advances our understanding of building energy performance. My proposed PhD research aims to integrate Human-Centric Design principles with energy management systems to minimise operational energy use in buildings. My overarching goal is to leverage my expertise to design efficient and affordable solutions that improve demand-side management in the built environment and address energy access challenges for at-need communities. I am very excited about engaging in the innovative research environment at the EECI lab as a Gates scholar. Through my research endeavours, I aspire to contribute positively to the energy landscape, both in Nigeria and beyond.
