Engr. Dr. OLOYEDE Christopher Tunji graduated from the prestigious Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria, where he obtained B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D. degrees in Agricultural Engineering in the years 2010, 2015, and 2022, respectively. He joined the service of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, in December 2019 as an Honorary Assistant Lecturer, and he was fully employed as a Lecturer II in June 2023. His areas of interest include but are not limited to the synthesis of Bio-composite Heterogeneous catalysts from Agricultural residues, Biofuel synthesis, Farm Power and Machinery Engineering, Crop Processing and Storage, and Environmental Engineering. He has publications in both local and international journals and has co-supervised nine undergraduate students. Dr. Oloyede is a COREN Registered Engineer, (R.61817), and an Associate member, of the Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria. Currently, he serves as an Assistant Examination Officer to the Department of Agricultural Engineering. Dr. Oloyede is currently working on the sustainability of biodiesel synthesis from various oil feedstock using bio-composite heterogeneous catalysts. Additionally, he is interested in collaborating with other researchers in this field.
