The Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences is pleased to celebrate Dr. Saheed Ademola Adesokan as our Spotlight Member of the Week

Dr. Adesokan is an analytical and environmental chemist whose work speaks directly to one of humanity’s most urgent needs: a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environment. His scientific journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to using chemistry as a tool for solving real-world problems, especially in water and wastewater treatment, pollution control, and environmental protection.

His research focuses on adsorption processes, sustainable adsorbent development, emerging contaminants, heavy metals, and environmental remediation. A major strength of his work is the transformation of abundant biomass and agricultural waste into useful, efficient, and environmentally friendly adsorbents for removing pollutants from water. Through this, Dr. Adesokan is contributing to the development of affordable and practical solutions for cleaner water and healthier communities.

He has published research on topics such as heavy metal contamination, removal of pharmaceutical pollutants from wastewater, negative adsorption phenomena, emerging contaminants, and waste management. His scholarly contributions reflect a scientist who is not only interested in discovery, but also in impact — research that can move from the laboratory toward society.

Dr. Adesokan’s interests also extend beyond science. He is passionate about music and the arts, and his creative works in writing, poetry, drama, essays, and music reveal a mind driven by imagination, expression, and purpose. This blend of science and creativity gives his journey a unique and inspiring dimension.

A quote that captures his guiding philosophy is:

“Living for upliftment of humanity.”

This vision continues to shape his scientific dream: to become a globally renowned scientist whose name is strongly associated with adsorption processes, water and wastewater treatment, adsorbent development, and environmental sensor innovation.

The Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences proudly commends Dr. Saheed Ademola Adesokan for his dedication to impactful science, environmental sustainability, creativity, and service to humanity. His story reminds us that science is most powerful when it is driven by purpose and directed toward improving lives.
