Architect | Lecturer | Researcher- Post research tips & AI tools to help beginners I’m a PhD architect who doesn’t just design buildings, but also inspires minds, leads impactful research/simplifies the process, and solves real-world design challenges in the built environment. With over 18 years of cross-sector experience, I’ve delivered 500+ building projects across educational, residential, religious, and commercial sectors — from concept to construction supervision. My designs consistently win: -client referrals, -cost savings, -time efficiency, and -high-quality delivery. 🔹 PhD in Architecture (Tropical Daylighting): My research advances indoor environmental quality in institutional buildings, optimizing natural light for healthier, energy-efficient learning spaces. 🔹 Winner – Overall Best Candidate, Nigerian Institute of Architects Professional Practice Exams (Top in 2 of 3 papers; 2nd best in the third). 🔹 Lecturer & Chief Architect, University of Uyo – led the Parks & Gardens Unit, integrating planning, design, and sustainability. 🔹 Principal Architect (Part-time), ED83 – leading design on academic and public buildings. Beyond the drawing board, I’m deeply committed to mentoring and capacity building. I’ve guided dozens of undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students in -architectural design, -research methods - quantitative/qualitative/mixed, -professional practice, -CAD/Revit, and -building climatology, helping them sharpen skills, win national competitions, and reduce dropout rates. - Guided +50 mentees to full Architect licensure In the last 2 years. 📚 My recent research focuses on daylighting, energy performance, post-occupancy evaluation, architectural education and sustainability, with my last 3 papers published in Q1-ranked international architecture journals with high impact factors. --- 🎯 Bothered about what I bring to the table? ✔ A blend of academic depth, design expertise, and field-tested leadership ✔ A proven track record in sustainable, context-driven architecture ✔ A passion for mentoring the next generation of architects ✔ The rare ability to bridge research, teaching, and real-world impact and AI tools --- 📩 I’m open to: ↪️Postdoc or Assistant Professor opportunities ↪️Research collaborations (international or multi-disciplinary) ↪️Guest lectureships, visiting scholar & external examination roles, and design consultancy ↪️ Paraphrasing, editing, AI in research consultancy Let’s build something impactful together.
