Industrial & Production Engineering

Nigeria

2024

CGPA: 3.71/4.00

He is currently pursuing a PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University. 

During his undergraduate studies, he gained substantial teaching experience through freelance online tutoring, assisting his colleagues with their coursework, and significant research experience through several project works assigned by course advisors, freelancing, and his final year project.

Growing up in Nigeria, he was always interested in how technology could enhance human life, but he has noticed the frequent disconnect between technology and the people who use it. This fascinated him to courses related to human factors and system design during his undergraduate. 

His long-term goal is to design systems that align with human capabilities and limitations.
