About Dr Adedapo Adeyinka

Dr. Adeyinka’s research focuses on using computational chemistry and molecular modelling techniques to design new molecules or modify existing ones for use as catalysts, drug leads, and energy applications. I also use cheminformatics techniques to mine information from the huge database of chemical compounds reported to date to facilitate the development of application-specific compounds. He has also applied machine learning, data analysis, and statistics skills to enhance my research output and impact. I am passionate about advancing the frontiers of science and innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing.
