Dr Oluwasesan Adegoke is currently a Baxter Fellow (Lecturer) in Forensic Chemistry at the University of Dundee, UK. After completing his bachelor degree in Chemistry in 2006, Oluwasesan was awarded two international Scholarships from the University of Nottingham in 2007 to study for a Masters course in Nanoscience. He hold 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 probes for toxic metal ions and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species using engineered semiconductor quantum dot 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 nanomaterials. As a Baxter Fellow in Forensic Chemistry, he leads the research group on the development of optical nanobiosensor systems for environmental, food, defence & security and biomedical applications. 

• Synthesis and characterization of engineered functional nanomaterials.
• Development of aptamer-based colorimetric and fluorescent optical nanobiosensors.
• Development of functional nanozymes for catalytic colorimetric biosensor assays.
• Development of quantum dot-based molecularly imprinted polymer nanocomposites for fluorescence sensing applications.
