1981 -1983 Teaching Assistant and Laboratory Instructor to graduate students and short courses participants during my doctoral program.
Teaching demands continuous updating like all things in life with technological changes, as it is engrossed in etiquette, mentorship, and professionalism. In my nearly two decades in the teaching profession I have successfully kept pace with these changes through incorporation of innovative instructional approaches into the traditional professor-centred lecturing approach. One aspect of my innovative approaches involves the active participation of students in class learning. Classroom lectures are interspersed with brief exercises whereby students work in small groups or individually on a variety of tasks based on the lecture. Perhaps, the most important aspect of my teaching is that I strive to impact into my students, confidence, trust and dynamism as components of success.
My research has centred on the rheological characterisation and mathematical modelling of transport properties of complex fluid mixtures and polymeric materials. Currently my research focus is on developing an understanding of the role of asphaltene during viscosity reduction of bitumen and heavy oils in petroleum solvents, which has applications in reservoir simulations, enhanced recovery, pipeline transportation, upgrading and refining of crude petroleum.
Processing-structure-property interaction in polymer and polymer blends.
Viscosity correlations of crude oils, bitumen and lubricant systems as influenced by temperature, pressure and additives compositions.
Upgrading of bitumen, heavy oils and petroleum residues using in-situ chemical reaction technique with free radical species.
