My areas of specialization include Thermodynamics of fluid phase systems. I have done much work in phase behaviour modeling of reservoir fluid systems using various Equations of State (EoS). My senior colleague, Emeritus Professor A. A. Susu and I developed the Peng-Robinson-Babalola-Susu Equation of State (PRBE-EoS) which has been shown to perform better than other EoS in terms of property prediction accuracy especially in very challenging non-conventional reservoirs at HPHT conditions. (on Wikipedia<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cubic_equations_of_state\">https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cubic_equations_of_state<\/a><u> )<\/u><\/p><p>I have also worked extensively on modeling and prediction of phase stability and phase split of fluid systems. I am addressing energy challenges using the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system for green energy and water security issues through further research for the development of robust Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH) technologies and advanced water purification using nanomaterial-enhanced membranes.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ol><li><strong> Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><ul><li>Fellow \u2013 Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers (NSChE), 2024 &#8211; Present<\/li><li>Member, Nigerian Society of Engineers, 2010 &#8211; Present<\/li><li>Eng.
