A 26-year old Cameroonian has earned a PHD in Chemical and process engineering from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow in Scotland, United Kingdom of Great Britain.
From her achievement, Christine Enowmbi Tambe, enters the records of the youngest scholars in the world.
Book makers have described her achievement as a benchmark for the next generation and a model for young girls.
The academic journey of Christine from Camerooon to the UK was that of inspiration coupled with hardwork.
She was always at the top of her class in performance from primary to High School, distinguishing herself in public examinations.
After completing primary education at Catholic school Buea, she proceeded to Government Bilingual High School Buea where she acquired ten papers at the ordinary level with eight ‘A’ grades and two ‘B’ grades.
Christine was admitted for high school studies at Saker Baptist College, Limbe. During the 2014 session of the Cameroon GCE examinations, she emerged top in the whole republic with five ‘A’ grades scoring twenty five points.
Armed with quality high school results, she gained admission at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom where she graduated with a Bachelor’s and Masters degrees in chemical and energy engineering with first class honours.
At the age of 26, Christine Enowmbi Tambe bagged a PHD in Chemical and process engineering from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
In a brief note after the milestone achievement, she said, “Working hard was important but maintaining consistency was much more difficult”
Her research interests include electroforming of metals and alloys, electro disposition in deep eutectic solvents, investigation of the effect of additives and corrosion behaviour materials.
Apart from being an electro chemical engineer at SHYP, she is also a member of the institution of chemical engineering, (IchemE) and the Institute of Corrosion (Icorr.)
