Mechanical Engineering University Of Manitoba Cover Letter

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in regards to the Sessional Instructor - MECH 2272 (CUPE Sessional) Engineering Materials position at the University of Manitoba. I am immensely interested in the role and would like to be considered as a candidate. I am a Material Engineer with a Ph.D. in fiber-reinforced composite. I have a proven 7-year background in scientific research and development in the field of polymers and polymer composites with over 50 published outputs in quartiles 1, 2, and 3 in Web of Science indexed journals. I also have 8 years of hands-on experience in relevant teaching and industrial projects on compostable plastics and their composites spanning from Polymer nanotechnology CSIR South Africa, Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria, and School of Industrial Technology, University Sains Malaysia. In addition to my research and teaching experience, I have experience with the operation of a variety of polymer processing machines such as extruders, batch mixers, injection, and compression molding machines with training from Polymer Nanotechnology CSIR South Africa, and Polymer Laboratory School of Industrial Technology, University Sains Malaysia. I also have a working knowledge of statistical data analysis such as Microsoft Excel, Origin Software for data analysis, SPSS, and Minitab for the Design of experiments, and performed several analyses such as the full factorial design of experiments, correlation, and regression, grey analysis, etc. on polymer characterization data. I am confident that I have the skills and experience necessary for the role of Sessional Instructor - MECH 2272 (CUPE Sessional) Engineering Materials. I am a quick learner and can quickly grasp the function and operations of new equipment having basic functional principles of injection molding, compression molding, twin screw extruder, pelletizer, 3D printing, TGA-DTA thermal analysis, Instron tensile testing machine, SEM machine. I am excited about the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with students at the University of Manitoba and help them develop into the next generation of engineers. I am committed to providing a high-quality learning experience for all students and would be a valuable asset to the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Olaiya Niyi Gideon
