Chima is a postgraduate student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Petronas University of Technology, Malaysia. His master's thesis focused on the life cycle analysis and long term viability of product systems. He estimated the economic and ecological contributions of the plant life cycle using the performance data parameters of the plant sensor readings, while also identifying red spots and recommending design alternatives to solve them. Chima graduated from the University of Benin (UNIBEN) in Nigeria with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 2017. The environmental impact evaluation of energy generation from municipal solid waste was the focus of his final year project. Chima went for the mandatory one-year National Youth Service Corp after finishing his BEng degree, where he was assigned as a Science Teacher at Edokpolor Grammar School in Benin City, where he taught secondary pupils Chemistry and Physics. Chima launched a production firm with the registered name ‘Forerunner Business Enterprise' after completing the service programme in 2018, a company that manufactures food packaging and handling products with its core raw materials. Chima’s current research interests revolves round asset management, data driven sustainability assessment, life cycle engineering, industrial ecology, techno–economic analysis, energy efficiency management, HVAC systems and district energy, and thermal energy storage.
