Calculations in Chemical Kinetics for Undergraduates

Eli Usheunepa Yunana is an inspiring teacher and mentor of high school and A-level chemistry students with seven years of experience as a tutor at City Academy, Maranatha College and volunteer tutor at Department of Chemistry Taraba State University (NYSC), all based in Nigeria. A solid-state materials chemist under the mentorship of Prof. Duncan H. Gregory, WestCHEM chair in inorganic materials, school of chemistry, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. Eli Usheunepa Yunana is a career driven scientist and leadership mentor with a master’s degree in advanced functional materials from the University of Glasgow. He is a member of research gate, nanoHUB.org and alumni student member of Solid-State group, also called Gregory Group in the school of chemistry, University of Glasgow. He has received outstanding recognitions for excellence in his academic career as a chemist, ranging from the overall best undergraduate student, Kaduna State University (2018) to the award of Merit based overseas scholarship by Kaduna State Government in Nigeria (2020). He is currently the host of an online Career and leadership mentoring platform (CAPLOM Services) with about thirty mentees and co facilitators in leadership, career, financial intelligence, IT and programing courses. The platform has all its contents documented on different online media platforms. These reveal so much about the author as a vision minded mentor with a great network of influence both in the academic and leadership settings.
