Welcome

Reading the sky to teach the fundamentals better.

I'm an atmospheric physicist, STEM educator and climate researcher, turning satellite data and scientific curiosity into solar-radiation insight and practical learning systems.

About me

Physics, climate research & STEM education

I work across atmospheric physics, climate data and renewable-energy research on one side, and STEM education, curriculum design and practical technology training on the other — turning satellite datasets and scientific method into insight for researchers and into clear, hands-on lessons for learners.

My technical grounding spans solar-irradiance and wind-energy modelling, statistical analysis of climate datasets, and front-end web development, which I apply to build the very tools — dashboards, courses, and learning platforms — that I use to teach.

Research

Solar dynamics, atmospheric radiation & wind-energy statistics

Combining satellite datasets, atmospheric modelling, numerical tools and statistical validation to support renewable-energy planning across tropical regions.

M.Sc. project · Published 2020

Parametric Estimation of Direct Irradiance under All-Sky Conditions

Published in the Bulletin of the Science Association of Nigeria, the work estimated direct irradiance from publicly available satellite datasets for all-sky conditions.

  • Applied atmospheric physics to renewable-energy data challenges.
  • Supported solar planning where dense ground observations are limited.
  • Built on computational workflows using climate and satellite-data tools.
Undergraduate project · ICRERA review

Investigating Solar Dynamics

This project explored solar structure and variability and was prepared for review by the International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications.

Wind energy · Published 2022

Weibull Wind-Speed Distribution in Nigeria

Published in the Journal of Science and Technology, with additional preparation for the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering.
