Brief Biography

Dr. Adekunle Adewuyi is an established academic and research scholar. He had his Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in Civil & Structural Engineering. He received his doctorate in Structural Engineering on vibration-based structural health monitoring techniques for civil infrastructure using fiber-optic strain sensing measurement strategy. 

In the past two decades, Dr Adewuyi has taught hundreds of students at both undergraduate and graduate levels in Civil/ Structural Engineering, Sustainable Construction Materials Engineering, and Foundation Engineering. He successfully supervised over 60 Bachelor’s, 2 postgraduate diploma’s, 8 Masters and one doctorate students in Civil Engineering. He has also handled many projects as a consultant, and have been invited as facilitators for continuing engineering training in a number of consulting engineering firms.

Dr. Adewuyi is an expert on structural performance and durability assessment of civil infrastructure and construction materials with sustained high quality publications. He is a well-traveled academic and researcher who has presented his research findings in virtually every continent of the world. He is a member of many national and international professional bodies.
