Education

Career

Eze's lecturing career began in 1981 at Federal University of Technology, Auchi. He became a full professor of physics in 2003, and was elected as vice chancellor of Federal University of Technology, Owerri in 2016, after serving in various administrative positions in the school.[4] Prior to that, he had been appointed a reader in physics at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri on October 1, 1999

Eze has been a professor of physics at the School of Physical Sciences (formerly part of School of Science), Federal University of Technology, Owerri since 1 October 2003. He defeated an incumbent Dean for the first time in the history of FUTO[5] and has served as a two-term elected dean, School of Science. He served as deputy vice-chancellor (administration) of FUTO, September 13, 2013, to 2016.

Tech, M.Sc. and PhD levels. Eze is very active in quality research in experiential solid-state physics and materials science, thin solid films, renewable energy and corrosion inhibition using local herb extracts. He has served as a physics consultant to the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) technical committee. He has also served on the technical committee on developing curricula for postgraduate training in nuclear science and engineering sponsored by NAEC. He also served as a physics consultant to Singaporean writing team on producing and ICT-illustrated Physics textbook – The New System Physics.

Following the end of his tenure as vice-chancellor of FUTO, he handed over to Professor Nnenna Nnannaya Oti who resumed office as the 8th vice-chancellor of the institution on 19 June 2021.

Memberships

Works

In a 2017 published paper, titled Characteristics of Nanocrystallite-CdS Produced by Low-Cost Electrochemical Technique for Thin Film Photovoltaic Application: The Influence of Deposition Voltage, Eze studied the characteristics of five nanocrystallite-CdS thin films within a timed environment. The X-ray results showed the shapes and thickness of the crystallite. Further analysis also discusses the behavior of factions of the findings.[11]
