Dr. Daramola earned his B.S. (2004) and Ph.D. (2011) in Chemical Engineering from Ohio University in Athens Ohio. Dr. Daramola spent a brief stint in industry within Ashland Inc.’s Specialty Polymers and Adhesives group (2014 – 2015) and was previously an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the assistant director for research in the Institute for Sustainable Energy and the Environment, both at Ohio University (2020 – 2023). Since becoming research faculty, Dr. Daramola has been awarded grants both the Advanced Manufacturing Office of the U.S. Department of Energy and the Ohio Water Development Authority. He is also a 2022 recipient of the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award from the Oak Ridge Associated Universities Consortium and a 2024 Scialog Fellow for Sustainable Minerals, Metals and Materials.
