Biography

Dr. Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ugwu is a lecturer in Ebonyi State University in the Department of Industrial Physics since 1999 till date. My B.Sc. and Master in Science were obtained from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria where I majored in Solid State Physics were in 1994 and 1997 respectively. My Ph.D which I completed in 2014 was also in the same area with specialization Experimental/Computational nanoscience.I have attended and presented papers in so many conferences within and outside Nigeria with more than Eighty journal publications apart from some chapters- contributions to textbooks and Co authored texbooks. My research interest is in Nanoscince which ignited as result of my work from my M.Sc. where I worked on the growth and characterization of and thin films which eventually ushered me into the world of Nanoscience.. After that my passion and research inclination has been on nanoscience. I had worked on growth, optical and structural characterization of chalcognide thin film like Copper Sulphide, CdS, MnS, and Antimony Selenide etc I have supervised students on the same areas at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In resent time, we have used a mathematical model in form of beam propagation method to assess the behaviour of electromagnetic wave propagation through thin film medium with consideration given to influence of dielectric constant to the propagating wave applying Green’s function and Lippmann-Schwinger equations. My has also done work on Oxide based thin films such as SO2, Nikel Oxide, Titanium Oxide, ZnO thin films etc. with a view of ascertaining their potentiality in solar cell and optoelectronic devices to enable us assess which one that is more efficient for commercial application.
