Nuruddeen Inuwa Aminu

Assistant Lecturer Modibbo Adama University of Technology

Nuruddeen Inuwa Aminu is a graduate geoscientist with experience in teaching and research. He specializes in sustainable geoscience solutions: carbon capture and storage (CCS), underground hydrogen storage (UHS), and geothermal energy. His technical skills encompass reservoir characterization, modeling, and simulation for CCS, UHS, and geothermal energy applications, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.

He joined SPE during his master’s program and has since been actively contributing to SPE’s activities through volunteering and participation. His professional journey includes roles such as graduate assistant at Modibbo Adama University Yola, and an internship with Clean Water Designs Ltd. in Glasgow, United Kingdom, where he contributed to a carbon estimation project. He is the cofounder and chair of the Centre for Science Foundation Jalingo, which mentors high school students for careers in STEM.

He holds a master’s degree in subsurface energy systems from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, and a bachelor’s degree in geology from Modibbo Adama University, Yola.
