Dr. Chizoba Henrietta Unaeze is a distinguished environmental scientist and research executive with over 14 years of specialized experience spanning environmental biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and data-driven environmental modeling. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, an M.Sc. with distinction in Analytical Chemistry from the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the Federal University of Technology, Minna. Furthering her dedication to systemic climate solutions, she also earned a Master of Research (MRes) in Environmental Science from Brunel University London. Dr. Unaeze currently serves as Assistant Director (Research) and Head of the Climate Change Unit at the National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency (NABDA) in Nigeria. Her core research integrates chemometrics, computational modeling, and bioanalytical techniques to analyze environmental pollution dynamics and build climate-resilient ecological frameworks. A pioneer in translational environmental technologies, Dr. Unaeze’s empirical work at NABDA includes developing rapid-detection bioanalytical biosensors for heavy metal contamination, advancing indigenous microbial bioremediation for plastic degradation, and engineering sustainable bioplastics and biodiesels. Her expertise extends into smart urban planning; she recently served as an Environmental Consultant for the Hillingdon Council in London, where she conducted environmental impact and feasibility analyses for integrating GovTech infrastructure and low-carbon active travel corridors along the Hayes Towpath. Dr. Unaeze is a frequent speaker at major international forums, including the Africa Climate Forum, where she presents on biotechnological interventions for climate adaptation. Her extensive peer-reviewed publications cover groundwater quality modeling, the risk assessment of airborne contaminants, and the phytoremediation of pesticide-contaminated soils, establishing her as a vital voice in sustainable development across both municipal and developing regional contexts.
