Lecturer II | Abiola Ajimobi Technical University | Nigeria
Dr. OJO Oluwaseyi Samson is an accomplished scholar in the field of Industrial Chemistry whose research has significantly advanced understanding of environmental pollution, analytical chemistry, and sustainable chemical processes. With a robust academic background culminating in a Ph.D. in Chemistry, he has consistently demonstrated excellence in scientific research, teaching, and professional service. His primary research interests center on the investigation of trace organic compounds, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and microbial contaminants across diverse environmental matrices such as groundwater, surface water, soil, and sediments. Through extensive field studies and analytical assessments, Dr. Ojo has generated vital baseline data essential for evaluating environmental quality and public health implications in Nigeria and similar developing regions. His scholarly contributions are well-documented in reputable international journals, including Chemistry Africa, Energy Reports, and the American Journal of Food Science and Technology. His research publications explore critical topics such as biodiesel development from non-conventional vegetable oils, heavy metal speciation in groundwater, health risk assessment of surface waters, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in sediments and food products. These studies not only enhance scientific understanding but also offer practical mitigation strategies for environmental pollution and sustainable industrial practices. Beyond research, Dr. Ojo actively contributes to academic growth through teaching and mentorship. He lectures in core chemistry and industrial process courses, such as Reaction Kinetics, Instrumental Methods of Analysis, and Water and Wastewater Treatment, inspiring the next generation of chemists. As an Associate Member of the Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria, he also integrates strategic and environmental management perspectives into his professional practice. His dedication to addressing pressing environmental challenges, coupled with his commitment to sustainable industrial chemistry, positions Dr. OJO Oluwaseyi Samson as an exemplary researcher whose work continues to make a meaningful impact on science, society, and environmental health.
