Uwaila Iyare

A highly motivated Geoscientist with a broad experience in geophysics, geomechanics, petroleum engineering, and chemical engineering. Has exceptional leadership, problem-solving, and analytical abilities, and is a strong team player. More than 5 years of experience in rock mechanics, acoustic emission testing and data processing, and processing and measurement techniques of permeability, strength, and seismic wave velocities. Moving from my initial specialization in petroleum and chemical engineering to geophysics and geochemistry research demonstrates that I am a quick learner as well as a dedicated and hardworking individual.
