Sesan Peter Ayodeji is a Nigerian academic and professor of mechanical engineering at Federal University of Technology Akure, where he obtained his PhD in Mechanical engineering in 2009. He is known for his contributions to Machine, Process Design and Applied Ergonomics. Ayodeji completed his postdoctoral program at the Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa from 2012 to 2013.[1][2]

His research interests include engineering systems optimization, machine efficiency, human-centered design in industrial processes. He has written numerous peer-reviewed publications and has participated in research initiatives related to academic development, industry practices, and policy discussions in Nigeria.[3] A registered engineer with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (FNSE), he is also a member of several professional organizations, including the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NiMechE), Material Society of Nigeria (MMSN), and the Nigerian Institution of Engineering Management (NIIEM).[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Ayodeji was born on 4 March 1972 in Ekiti State, Nigeria. He attended A.U.D. Primary School, Aramoko-Ekiti from 1979 to 1984 and proceeded to Alamoye Comprehensive High School, Aramoko-Ekiti, where he graduated in 1990. He enrolled into Federal University of Technology, Akure, where he had his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1999; Master of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2003, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Production engineering in 2009.[4][1] In 2012, Ayodeji completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Industrial Engineering Department of Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa.[1]

Academic career

[edit]

Ayodeji was a Graduate Assistant at FUTA in 2000. He also served as Assistant Lecturer, Lecturer II, Lecturer I, and Senior Lecturer between 2000 and 2016.[2] From 2000 to 2012, he was affiliated with Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, before briefly returning in 2017 as a visiting scholar.[3] Between 2012 and 2013, he was engaged in a postdoctoral research programme at Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa,[4] and later served as a Research and Innovation Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering from 2014 to 2019. From 2021 to date, he has held the position of Professor in the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering at FUTA.[1] In 2021, he was appointed as dean on sabbatical at Achievers University, Owo, where he oversees academic and administrative activities of the College of Engineering and Technology.[5]

Research and publications

[edit]

Ayodeji has published over 90 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, including book chapters in refereed books.[6][7] He has developed several machines and processes, one of which led to his recognition in the 2022 Nigeria Prize for Science for the development of a process plant for plantain flour production.[8]

His work has been widely referenced in:

  • Google Scholar: (360 Citations & 10 h-index)[9]
  • Scopus [6]
  • ResearchGate: [7]
  • Scholargps:[3]
  • IEEE: [1]
  • Web of Science:[10]

He has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed articles in international journals, contributing to the fields of mechanical and production engineering.[4]
