Short Profile

Olayemi Johnson ADEOSUN is the Acting Head of Department and an Associate Professor of
Environmental Resources Engineering, Department of Agricultural and Bio-Resources
Engineering, College of Engineering, Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB)
Ogun State Nigeria. He had is first degree from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife and
his second and third degree from the University of Ibadan. My research focus is on
environmental resources engineering, dealing with the art of applying scientific principles
and technological means to avoid or reduce forms of pollution by human activities. This
includes and not limited to rate of waste generation, agricultural and waste water
management, development of waste thermochemical, biological and mechanical conversion
reactors, for conversion of organic waste to fuels (renewable energy), organic fertilizers and
waste water treatment, together with water quality assessment and pollution control
among others.
