PhD Researcher in Biological & Ecological Engineering | Oregon State University
Research Lead, CHIPU-FEW Intelligence | Agrivoltaics & Food–Energy–Water Systems

I investigate how agricultural production, irrigation water, solar energy, storage, and operational decisions interact. My research interests include agrivoltaics, soil–water processes, irrigation–energy coupling, simulation, digital twins, and resilient agricultural systems.

I also serve as Founder and Executive Director of the LICHIPU Foundation for Food, Energy and Water Sustainability (LIFEWS), a nonprofit organization registered in Nigeria. LIFEWS is a separate professional affiliation and does not operate in the United States. My OSU doctoral research and LIFEWS organizational activities should not be construed as the same institutional program or as an OSU endorsement.

My role: Research lead. I initiated and lead the development of this research-stage decision-support prototype, defining its research questions, architecture, modeling requirements, scenario comparisons, and interpretation of outputs. The repository preserves its evolution from the earlier CropSmart Research Digital Twin.

CHIPU-FEW brings together agrivoltaic system scenarios, irrigation and pumping-energy calculations, solar and battery analysis, research-stage prediction and decision logic, techno-economic assumptions, and resilience indicators. The prototype is intended to make interactions across food, energy, and water more transparent and testable.

Selected documented development milestones

Research architecture · Evidence and provenance · Model and method matrix · Implementation status

A separate public repository associated with agrivoltaic simulation and dashboard development. Its technical methods, numerical results, and validation status should be assessed from its own repository contents.

LIFEWS EcoTrace is an ongoing environmental-accounting and agricultural scenario-analysis prototype. Its source repository is currently private, so its code and development history are not offered here as publicly inspectable evidence. LIFEWS is based in Nigeria.

• CHIPU-FEW commit history
• CHIPU-FEW merged pull requests
• CHIPU-FEW repository documentation

These records demonstrate traceable research-software development and iteration. Research leadership is distinct from individual authorship of every code change. Software build checks and simulated results do not establish independent scientific validation, measured field performance, or autonomous farm deployment. The prototype remains research-stage.
