Uzoh Chigozie Francolins is currently a PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria. His research topic is novel approach to synthesize oxy-polymerizable alkyd resin from some inedible non-drying oil for surface coating application. He has published a number of research articles in different ISI-indexed journals. He is a very dynamic and skilled researcher with excellent analytical and problem solving skills and strong aptitude for conducting research related to our current needs. He has demonstrated outstanding strength of character in area of moral rectitude, integrity, tenacity, dedication and capacity for hard work. He is a registered Member of Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN); a corporate Member of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers (NSChE); the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and International Association of Engineers (IAENG). His research and teaching interests are alkyd resins, experimental process design, response surface methods and process dynamics, control and optimization. He has designed many processes for product and process synthesis using design of experiment and statistical screening analysis.
