Description
I have acquired about 15 years of sedimentary basin analysis in integrating outcrops, well logs, and mineralogical scale rocks data to characterize petroleum systems, assess hydrocarbon resources and CO2 sequestration repositories including the environmental impacts of oil and gas exploitations in Nigeria, Mozambique, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. I have also acquired interpersonal skills, effective communication, operations, project management, writing, teaching, and leadership skills through various positions in student organizations and community service, including $200,000+ in research grants successfully secured during graduate school.
