Prof. Rotimi Sadiku is currently an Emeritus Professor at the Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa.
Professor Emmanuel Rotimi Sadiku started his career as early as in 1976 as assistant Supervisor at the Zaria Industries Limited Nigeria and later received the Nigeria Government Scholarship to pursue a BSc [Hons.] (1980) degree at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, UK. During this journey, he received numerous awards as best student and then, received the Nigeria government scholarship to pursue his PHD (1986) in Polymer Science at University of Strathclyde. He did a 1½ years postdoctoral fellowship at the CNR/University of Genova, Italy (1989/90) After receiving postdoctoral fellowship award (Swedish Institute Research Fellowship) he joined (1990) the Department of Polymer Technology, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. He did spend ½ year at the Faculty of Physics, Freiburg University as Visiting Scientist. In 1999, he later received South African Research Foundation (NRF) Fellowship award to join University of Stellenbosch, Institute for Polymer Science.
Dr. Oluranti Agboola obtained both her Masters’ degree and PhD in chemical Engineering from Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa. Her PhD research focused on the use of nanofiltration membranes for the treatment of mine water by first developing theoretical models to predict the performance of the membranes and the study was confirmed in the laboratory. Following the completion of her PhD, she joined the University of South Africa as a postdoctoral fellow and worked on the fabrication of polypropylene nanocomposite membranes for the treatment of wastewater using melt extrusion method. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Covenant University and currently editing a book project entitled “DESIGN OF FUNCTIONAL POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES: INTERFACE AND INTERPHASE REACTIONS, COMPATIBILIZATION AND BOND BEHAVIOR, AND FUNCTIONALIZATION PROCEDURES”, to be published by Elsevier in 2025. Prior to that she was a part-tie lecturer at Tshwane University of Technology in 2011-2016. Her main research interests are polymer nanocomposites for membrane synthesis, nanomaterial processing and characterisation and corrosion engineering. She has authored and co-authored over 55 peer reviewed journal articles and 25 fully referred conference papers, contributed chapters in over 20 scientific books. She served a lead guest editor for a special issue in Materials and Corrosion Advancements for the International Journal of Chemical Engineering (Hindawi). She was appointed as the external examiner for post graduate student projects. As an Associate Professor at Covenant University, Nigeria, she worked extensively on the use of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles to combat environmental pollution. Different nanoparticles were integrated into the PET polymer membranes to enhance their performance for the treatment of wastewater and the dehydration of natural gas. Additionally, some of her recent publications are (i) Statistical analyses of pore radii on the performance of PET-nanocomposite membranes in the removal of iron and anions from Ibeshe River. Published by South African Journal of Chemical Engineering; (ii) Synthesis of PET-Magnesium Oxide-Chitosan Nanocomposite Membranes for the Dehydration of Natural Gas.

Dr. Kokkarachedu Varaprasad is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Design, San Sebastián University, Chile. He received PhD (2011) in biocidal temperature-sensitive hydrogels from the Department of Polymer Science and Technology, India. He worked as an Investigator at the Advanced Polymer Research Center (CIPA), Chile. He received 3 International Postdoctoral Fellowships at Creighton University, USA, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa, and Concepcion University, Chile. He developed the bioactivity of hybrid nanomaterials for advanced biomedical applications. He has published numerous articles, books, book chapters, and has 2 patents. His name has been listed in the Top 2% of scientists in the world under biomaterials, nanoscience, and nanotechnology in a recent survey conducted by Stanford University. His primary objective is to translate primary nano and polymer technology research results for the next generation of biomedical applications.
