Profile:

• Education: B.Sc (Hons) Chemistry (Ilorin). M.Sc., Ph.D. (Ibadan)

Scholarship, Fellowships and Prizes

• 2009 – 2012 University of Ibadan Postgraduate Research Scholarship
• 2009 – 2011 Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) scholarship

Area of Specialization: Biophysical/Physical Chemistry

Research interest:

• My on-going research is aimed at developing new polymers to solve prevailing human and environmental problems. This is being actualized by: (i) developing imprinted polymers to target specific organic and inorganic pollutants in aqueous and non-aqueous media, (ii) Synthesizing Monomer-modified Biosorbents through Graft Copolymerization of sorbent materials, in the presence of initiators such as Fenton reagent, KMnO₄ , for application in adsorbing toxic organic materials from waste waters and industrial waste waters mimics.
• Investigation of the rates and kinetics of membrane digestion by lysosomal enzymes and the role enzymes, proteins and lipids play in cholesterol transfer in biological model systems.
