Research
My research focuses on advancing sustainable solutions for environmental and energy challenges through innovative chemical engineering approaches. I develop electrochemical technologies for CO₂ conversion into valuable chemicals and sustainable systems for industrial wastewater treatment using wate bio-derived materials. Utilizing advanced characterization techniques, computational modeling, and process optimization, I work to understand fundamental mechanisms and translate discoveries into scalable, commercially viable solutions. Through collaborations bridging academia and industry, my goal is to create practical technologies that address climate change, resource recovery, and environmental remediation for a more sustainable future.

Whenever I count my blessings, I count you twice. You have so much turned yourself into my blood brother, the funny part is that we only met in school. Dauda Monsuru Olatunji, you are a man who thousands of people put all of their burdens upon and yet, you still find a solution to make everyone happy at all cost. You and I know the journey of our undergraduate level days and how tedious mine was but still, you made me stand and fight strong even when all hope were lost. I can’t forget the day I submitted my rough calculation test paper while I took the original test paper home for more than 2weeks. You took the burden that day and created a solution. Brother, you are a leader and a great capacity for everyone. So many people with your capacity will still not prefer to help others, but yet you still find time. Dauda Monsuru Olatunji, you are a solid rock no one can ever fight with, as you celebrate the beginning of another great year, I pray in Almighty name, that your life and story will never be cut short Amen, you shall be known for good and greatness and be celebrated all over the world.
