A. Personal Statement

I am a dedicated researcher with a strong focus on renewable energy systems, particularly solar energy and fluid mechanics. My work includes co-authoring studies on bladeless turbines (Results in Engineering, 2020), optimal tilt modeling for photovoltaic systems (Heliyon, 2022), and real-world performance assessment of solar modules (Nigerian Journal of Physics, 2021). These projects reflect my commitment to developing efficient, sustainable energy solutions through both analytical modeling and experimental validation. I aim to continue contributing to innovative,  practical advancements in clean energy technologies, especially for developing regions.
