That's very useful information, I will let you know once I start sending out applications. I have heard that Singapore is quite a curious country, one that opens her doors to researchers so that might be a good option as well. Do let me know when you are in town. One of our collaborators is from Sabanci, in fact she is on my jury. wip7: |

ahamdiheme: Pls try the MIT-SIN thing is very great. I spent one month in the facility of Singapore-MIT alliance village, I must confess you will never get bored with research and their pay is fantastic. From my little discussion with guys there, most of the postdocs are converted to full-time and you know is 12 months in Sin and 12 months in MIT cos is mostly 24 months stuff. Yeah I will let you know when I am around in Sabanci, I am using their facilities and there are about 6 guys also from MIT in Sabanci and one of them was in my Msc Jury then. 4 Likes |

Theyjih: Thanks a lot, are you working or doing any research in this field? if yes let me know..... |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 11:41pm On Dec 27, 2014 |
Do we have any researcher working on Nanomaterials for bio-medical, bio-environmental applications here? Let discuss. We have opened position for researcher in this field mainly in the framework of the EU project NanoDefine. You may Google it to read more. 3 Likes |

Theyjih: Waow biodiesel is great. I produced that from waste fruits seeds, peels, waste vegetables and plant materials. Is actually easy stuff to do...we still have tested samples we produced. Do they use it in Nigeria now at commercial level? If you have great passion for it...you can tell me what raw materials you have abundant you want to use....I will tell you parameters to check and then you start that. Do you know you can produce it from used/waste cooking oil? I did and also instead of using NaOH an homogeneous catalyst..i decided to produce my own catalyst from Eggshell waste and used it as heterogeneous catalyst. You can produce the methanol you need for the conversion from cattle dung as well. 8 Likes |

Thanks would check em out |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by Theyjih: 12:09am On Dec 28, 2014 |
@wip It's gradually getting to that Level.(commercial scale in 9ja). the guys im working with since im off site are using one plant source and animal source.. jatropha and swine respectively ... its more like a backup for the wind system to power the ranch.. |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 12:35am On Dec 28, 2014 |
Theyjih: Okay Jatropha is a good source cos is rugged and oil content within the seeds is high compared to the rapeseed normally used in Europe. Since its a ranch, if you guys have cattle there, then they don't need to buy alcohol (methanol) as solvent for the biodiesel production, they can produce from the animal dung. Also, the Glycerin obtain after biofuel production is also of high commercial value. 3 Likes |

Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 2:20pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
scholag: It's nice to hear you are doing great. There are possibilities to find scholarship/fellowship abroad and it depends on your academic status. Try to answer the following questions and then I can suggest links. 1. Have you published any articles, attend standard conference/s which your work/s were published? 2. Is your MSc thesis of national or international value? 3. Kindly state your thesis title. 4. Which area will you like to pursue your PhD and what do you hope to achieve or problem you hope to solve ? 5. What technical skills do you possess? Are you good at mathematical modelings ( statistical optimization of economic models, simulation of Econ models for prediction)? These will help you to fine tune your direction and these are some of the features of PhD students or PhD candidates. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Thread For PHD Students by wip7: 3:27pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
scholag: Do you want to continue same field in your PhD? if yes, i will suggest you are more specific on the parameters you checked about the welfare and seems to me the thesis is more of national value. Try to adapt it to international value cos if you want fellowship abroad, you must be able to convince the awarding organization how your work will be of value international wise. Suggest PhD area and let it be more modern and practical, then other suggestions will flow. 1 Like |

ahamdiheme:Please, stop being petulant. The idea you are trying to bring into this heated debate is still the same idea that kept most Nigerians in their ignorance. All you expect me to do is not to question PhD holders of what I find disturbing about them. For the fact that you are like one of those Nigerians who worship pastors stealing from them in Sunday congregation makes me a little perturbed about your very notion on what my posts are all about. Don't you in your arrogance try to insult me again or I would retaliate with harsh ones. I think you are the person who doesn't know what PhD is all about. Most well known PhD holders serve the community and mean well for their various nations through their researches and experiment. And, here you are making mess of yourself trying to act tough.

Come back when you grow up, until then I will ignore you as you are dragging me down to your pitiful level. The best way to deal with this troll is to ignore him, just don't reply to anything he says. He's behind a screen and that's where he will remain, nothing he says is of any worth. Ignore the troll and he'll find his way. Best wishes to all the researchers and potential researchers in the house 7 Likes |

ahamdiheme: No, I am not! You are begging the question though. Not from a stimulating perspective but from a negative angle. My take on this thread's topic is very well based on what I find disturbing about Nigerian PhD certificates and it's not about criticism. Nigerians have overused that cliche in many wrong ways that it has lost its meaning. It has become a common word in the areas it is supposed not to be used. I am dumbstruck to see you using it here to explain what I am trying to ship into the discussion remotely from what I am talking about. I am not a PhD nor an MSC holder. I said it before that I am a young Nigerian who believes the PhD certificate holders can help to move the nation forward. Having said that, I expect them to exhibit the qualities of PhD holders and I am surprised of what I see here to be questionable about their high knowledge. I have been called a troll many times in this forum for speaking out on the truth of the matter. While you are dodging my well expressed views on the state of the Nigerian PhD holders on this thread is still something I cannot understand. I only find it exhilarating to the least of my comprehension of what you are going after for people to ignore me. I stand my grand to be challenged by those who think there is no intelligence in what I have said so far to prove me wrong. Thank you. |
Re: Thread For PHD Students by Nobody: 3:57pm On Dec 28, 2014 |
wip7:Thank you very much for the list. Let the focus be on solving the Nigeria's problems first. The list is very important to the nation building. They are parts of the fabric of a working developed society. |
