Get to Know Hamid

"Originally from Nigeria, I lived in Houston, Texas for 10 years. Before the Tepper School, I studied in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.

"I joined ConocoPhillips in Houston as a geophysicist after completing my Ph.D. at Texas A&M University in 2012. I worked for six years in the oil and gas industry before coming to the Tepper School.

"I chose the Tepper School because of the analytic focus of the MBA program as well as the proximity to, arguably, the best computer science program in the world."
