After completing his bachelor degree in Chemistry in 2006, Oluwasesan Adegoke was awarded two international Scholarships from the University of Nottingham in 2007 to study for a Masters course in Nanoscience of which he graduated in 2008. In 2014, he graduated with a PhD in Chemistry from Rhodes University where he researched on new fluorescent-based sensor systems for toxic metal ions and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species using engineered semiconductor quantum dots. In 2014, he was awarded three Postdoctoral Research Fellowships that allowed him to carry out postdoctoral research in South Africa and Japan. His expertise is in developing state-of-the-art optical sensors and biosensors for a wide range of analytes using engineered nanomaterials. As a Baxter Fellow in Forensic Chemistry, his research interest lies in the engineering of new nanomaterials and the development of new optical nanosensors and nanobiosensors for a wide range of targets.
