Dr Isaac Akinwumi
Work and Research
My research focuses on environmental protection, waste utilization for engineering applications and sustainable development. My research works on environmental protection revolves around containment of disposed solid waste, water treatment and sanitation. Engineering applications of solid wastes (such as, steel slag, waste marble fines, reclaimed asphalt pavement, cactus mucilage, rice husk, and corncob ash) have been investigated for a partial or complete replacement for cement, whose production process is one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gases by the construction industry.
