I obtained a Master of Science Degree in Polymer Science and Technology in the year 2007, from Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki Nigeria. I was a visiting PhD Scholar to the Composite Materials and Engineering Center, Washington State University, Pullman, USA; where I conducted data analysis on my PhD Thesis titled "Characterization and Comparison of Thermal, Mechanical, Rheological and Water Absorption Properties of Agro Fiber Filled High density Polyethylene Biocomposites in the year 2012 through 2013. I obtained a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Polymer Chemistry and Technology in the year 2014, from Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki Nigeria. I was an Adjunct Lecturer I in the Department of Polymer and Textile Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria from September 2016 to March 2019. Currently, I am a Lecturer I in the Department of Polymer and Textile Engineering, starting from 18th March, 2019 to date . I have published more than 20 peer reviewed journal articles in national and international journals. I have presented my research findings in international conferences. I was awarded best paper presenter at the 5th International Scientific Conference on Applied Science and Engineering, held at the Flora Grand Hotel, Dubai, UAE, December, 29-30, 2015.
