About

My research interests lie in renewable energy transition particularly regarding the provision of clean and efficient energy use in the residential sector. I am particularly invested in solar energy utilisation and energy efficiency strategies, especially for the residential sector. I am skilled in the investigation and integration of thermal energy storage materials as well as techno-economic and environmental impact analyses of energy systems. I am also an experienced Physics and allied courses with about 25 years' experience in secondary school, polytechnics and universities in different countries. I have supervised post-graduate research projects with outstanding outputs. My research works and collaborations have been presented at a number of reputable international conferences and published in reputable peer-reviewed journals. I have volunteered as a reviewer for a number of reputable, high-impact, peer-reviewed journals.
