Abdulkareem Toyin

Lecturer I

I am trained Geologist with background in Petroleum Geology and Sedimentology. I have key interest in Petroleum Geology, Petroleum/organic Geochemistry, Hydrocarbon Generation Simulation/Modelling, Basin and Petroleum system modelling, Unconventional Resources (Shale Gas, Coalbed Methane), and Sedimentology/sedimentary petrology (Carbonate Rocks). I combine both field and laboratory data for better results.

I am actively looking for both industrial and academic collaborators from anywhere around the world in my areas of interest as this will make me learn more and grow as a young Scientist.
