RESEARCH INCUBATION AND MATURATION FORUM (RIMF)

RESEARCH INCUBATION AND MATURATION FORUM (RIMF)

This is one of the forum that is run under the NNPCL/SPDCJV-ARET ADAMS Professorial Chair in Petroleum Engineering, Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Port Harcourt.

Purpose:

Research Incubation and Maturation Forum (RIMF) is established to cater for the research needs of the PhD and Masters students under my supervision and mentorship.

Commencement Date: Effective March 2023

Times of Meeting: Every second and last Tuesdays of every month.

Objectives of the RIM Forum are to:

- Give focus and direction to the different varying research topics of the Scholars

- Allow robust discussions on the various research interests by the contributions from other Scholars

- Help incubate and maturate research findings for possible patents filing and spin-offs.

Since its inception, the following presentations have being held:

• Presentation for 2 PASET PhD Scholars and 2 masters students         04/04/2023
• Presentations for 2 PhDs and 4 Masters students                                 30/05/2023
