Brief about me

I'm a Professor of Microbiology with teaching and research experience in the University since 1998 having vast interests in Microbiology and Biotechnology, especially fermentation processes and enzyme technology. My work also involves the green synthesis and applications of nanoparticles in the field of nanobiotechnology. I'm the Head of Nanotechnology Research Group (NANO+) (www.lautechnanotech.com) at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria, and the lead author of Microbial Nanobiotechnology: Principles and Applications which was published by Springer-Nature Pte Ltd. (Singapore) in 2021. Our research group has promoted and publicized Nanotechnology R&D in Nigeria through the organization of annual workshops and conferences since 2017. I have been ranked among the top 2% scientist in the world by Elsevier since 2020 and also received Vice-Chancellor’s award for outstanding scholarly publications at LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, Nigeria.
