Dr Lawal Umar Daura is a Knowledge Transfer Partner (KTP) Associate - Non-Destructive Evaluation within the Intelligent Sensing and Communications (ISC) Research Group. He works on a co-joint project between Newcastle University and ABFAD Limited to develop a system for monitoring and inspecting oil and gas storage tank's floor for evaluating thickness variation, presence of corrosion and cracks in weldment joints, non-destructively.
He received a B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from Bayero University Kano, Nigeria in the year 2005 and 2014, respectively, and a PhD degree in the field of Sensor Technology (resonance eddy current Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E)) from the School of Engineering, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K., in 2022.
His main research interests include electric and electronic circuit simulation and analysis for embedded systems, wireless power transfer for eddy-current testing and electromagnetic sensors for NDT&E.
