Biography

Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, infrequent electricity was my birthright. I had never confronted the status quo until I witnessed an entire production line crumble during an internship because of the same problem—unreliable electricity. Immediately, I began tinkering: If centralizing electricity production failed us, how about decentralization?During my undergraduate studies, I identified optimal zones for integrating renewable technologies into West Africa’s grid. My research is now a framework for siting and co-locating renewable energy sources across the West African power pool. My professional stint at Space in Africa deepened my practical expertise in solar technology projects, environmental satellite missions, and microgrid strategies for rural electrification. But I’m far from done.As an MPhil candidate in ISMM at Cambridge, I look forward to an Africa where renewable energy is produced in-house and distributed to all Africans. I aim to achieve this through innovative policies and engineering frameworks that bring cost-effective energy solutions to the continent. Becoming a Gates Cambridge Scholar will balance my technicalities with the leadership to concretize this.Fun fact: classical music is my second source of energy
