Dr Oluwasesan Adegoke is a Materials Chemist and currently a Senior Lecturer within the School of Science and Engineering at the University of Dundee, UK. After completing his bachelor's degree in Chemistry in 2006, he was awarded two international Scholarships from the University of Nottingham in 2007 to study for a Masters course in Nanoscience. He holds a MSc degree in Nanoscience and in 2014, he graduated with a PhD degree in Chemistry from Rhodes University where he worked on the development of new fluorescent-based sensor detection systems for toxic metal ions and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species using engineered semiconductor quantum dots nanoconjugates. In 2014, he was awarded three Postdoctoral Research Fellowships that enabled him to carry out Postdoctoral Research in South Africa and Japan. His expertise lies in the development of novel optical sensors and biosensors for a wide range of analytes using engineered advanced nanomaterials. He is a principal investigator who leads the research group on the development of optical and electrochemical nanobiosensor systems for environmental, food, defense & security and biomedical applications. He also lectures in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. He has authored and coauthored several peer-review internationally scholarly scientific papers. He has one patent to his credit and has one scholarly book chapter published. He is currently funded through the Royal Society, UK and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), UK.
