I am Ismaila Idowu Ahmed. I was educated at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria and University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom for my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees respectively. I joined the service of University of Ilorin in 2013 and have since risen through the ranks to a Professor. I was acting Head of the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering between 2020-2022. I enjoy teaching and mentoring both undergraduate and postgraduate students. I participated severally in Community Based Experience Scheme of the Faculty, where I supervised students on host communities projects, as bridges between town and gown. Lastly, I am quite meticulous about contributing to the frontier of knowledge through research and development. My research activities on materials performance and degradation have gained sponsorship from local, national, and international funding bodies to whom I remain grateful. My academic excellence and contributions to knowledge are available in scholarly publications accessible on my profile pages.
