Kehinde Adenike Oyewole

Highly motivated, dedicated and qualified academic scholar. A Chemical Engineer (PhD), possessing excellent research qualities (industrial partnership inclusive) with a passion for new technology. A registered engineer with strong leadership abilities, keen to continue learning and contributing to research. I have over 10 years experience in academic and research. 

My PhD research focused on synthesising and characterising cost-effective, non-toxic and energy-efficient polymeric adsorbents capable of selectively capturing CO2 to mitigate the adverse effect of global warming and climate change. The materials were characterised using ASAP micrometric 2020 for BET surface area and pore size analysis; TGA/DSC for thermal stability; FTIR / XPS for surface chemistry; and SEM for polymer morphology.
