I am a first year PhD student at the Department of Geology & Geophysics, University of Wyoming, Laramie, USA. I am working with Dr. Kenneth W.W. Sims.

My current research is focused on the use of trace and major element and isotope geochemistry to study Hydrothermal fluids and deposits in Yellowstone, Wyoming as well as dust impact on them.

M.Sc. Geology, University of Calabar, Calabar, C.R.S. - October 2021.

B.Sc. Geology, Tansian University, Umunya, Anambra State - August 2011. 

Research Interests:

Volcanology, petrology, trace and major element geochemistry and isotope geochemistry.
