Nelson O. Etafo is a doctorate graduate of the and a CONAHCYT fellow in the department of material science and Technology department, facultad de ciencias químicas, Universidad Autonoma de Coahuila, Saltillo Coahuila México under the supervision of Dr Carlos Eduardo Rodriguez Garcia and Dr Jorge Oliva Uc. He has research experience in Photoluminescence and photodegradation properties of Inorganic solid hosts with lanthanides as dopants. He has skills in structural simulations, morphological (SEM & TEM), optical and Photoluminescence properties.

Further research skills in rubber compounding and characterization with potential application. He has attended more than 5 International and local conferences to present his investigations. He has publications in reputable journals like Elservir, etc.

He is also a member of association such as American Chemical Society (ACS), Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and Chemical Society of Nigeria (CSN). He is also the founder of "The chemistry class with Nelson Etafo", a Facebook page with over 46,000 followers.

He is a Nigerian-born Educator who has taught chemistry at various level and served as examiner with National bodies like WAEC, NECO. He was a Chemistry Tutor in The Bridge College and Cambridege Standard Institute, both sister schools in Abeokuta Ogun state Nigeria for 7 years with exceptional academic results including IGCSE and CIE Chemistry.

He was also a highly in-demand chemistry consultant to schools like Foursquare international secondary school, and Elyon Leadership College Academy, both in Abeokuta Ogun state Nigeria etc. Nelson is a critical thinker, with collaboration and problem solving skills

Photoluminescence, photocatalysis

Research Interest: Allelopathy and allelopathic substances of medicinal plants, Biological activity of natural products, Herbicides development from natural products, Organic farming and Precision agriculture.

Research Interest: Field of the solid-state investigation of the molecular self-assembly of different solid forms of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) (polymorphs, cocrystals, salts and hydrates) with the support of quantum chemical calculations in the presence and absence of single crystal data. A rather important interest is the online monitoring of the transformation of these solid forms using either in situ Raman and NIR spectroscopy or a combination of in situ Raman spectroscopy and other relevant techniques (e.g. DSC and DVS) to provide a complete picture of physical and chemical changes that are occurring during the pharmaceutical processes.
