Mr. Bright Ugochukwu Ngozichukwu is a researcher in advanced nanomaterials for clean-energy applications whose work spans materials discovery, mechanistic analysis, and process-relevant system engineering. His research focuses on nitride-based 2D MXenes and MOF/MXene hybrid composites for CO₂ capture and conversion, hydrogen evolution, and energy storage applications. He has contributed to reproducible nitride-MXene synthesis, operando spectroelectrochemical elucidation of catalytic pathways, and the creation of integrated capture-and-conversion platforms, advances recognized in high-impact publications and national laboratory collaborations. In addition to his academic achievements, Mr. Ngozichukwu brings a rare foundation of industrial engineering experience across world-scale chemical manufacturing facilities. At Dangote Petroleum Refinery, he contributed in pre-commissioning and commissioning activities for hydrogen-generation, NHT, CCR reforming, and Penex/Platforming units. His responsibilities included catalyst loading and activation, reactor conditioning, process-parameter optimization, equipment readiness verification, and ensuring alignment with safety, operability, and performance requirements. At Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals, he operated high-pressure ammonia–urea synthesis loops as a process engineer, managing startups, shutdowns, and process adjustments under stringent HSE and permit-to-work systems, gaining hands-on insight into process stability, reliability, and continuous-operation chemistry. He further expanded his technical breadth as a Graduate Technical Intern in Intel’s Logic Technology Development division, working on Hi-K ALD process chambers. He developed automated valve-diagnostic test recipes, improved fault-detection workflows, supported DOE/SPC-driven film-uniformity optimization, and contributed to tool-qualification procedures. Mr. Ngozichukwu has published extensively in high-impact journals and served as a reviewer for multiple international journals. His combined academic and industrial background positions him as a technically rigorous evaluator in nanomaterials, catalysis, and process-integration research.
