She graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State in 1996. In 1997, she underwent the mandatory one-year national service in Gombe state North-West Nigeria where she was deployed to Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC) Limited in Gombe town. She completed the national service in 1998 after which she secured an appointment as a Graduate Assistant in the Department of Chemical Engineering Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State. In 1999, she proceeded to the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos State for her second degree, M. Sc in Chemical Engineering which she completed in year 2000. She bagged her Ph.D degree in Chemical Engineering in 2016 from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. Dr. Ayo Ajani has over the years taught such courses as Reaction Kinetics, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Transport Phenomenon, Basic Biotechnology, Advanced Catalysis and Kinetics and Chemical Engineering Analysis, both at undergraduate and post graduate levels at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. She has served as a visiting lecturer at Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, Oyo State. She has also been an External Examiner for postgraduate students at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State. Dr Ajani’s current interest is in areas of Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering Biotechnology and Bioenvironmental Engineering. She is still actively involved in teaching and research at the Department of Chemical Engineering Ladoke Akintola University of Technology where she is the current acting Head of Department.
