Biography
Adeolu Adediran is a doctoral researcher in Fibre and Particle Engineering at the University of Oulu. He received his M.Sc in Civil Engineering from University of Ibadan, Nigeria in 2015 and also M.Tech in Process and Environmental Engineering from University of Oulu in 2017. His masters thesis was on alkali activation of industrial residues from metallurgical industries. After graduation, he continued as a project researcher, working on several projects. His current research focus is on developing alternative cement and aggregates to produce alkali activated materials, thus promoting circular economy and sustainable development. He has participated and also presented at international conferences
