Babatunde Ayodeji Ogunnaike (1956–present) is an American chemical engineer of Nigerian descent and the William L. Friend Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University Of Delaware (UD). He also is the Dean of UD's College of Engineering.

Early life

Babatunde Ogunnaike was born on March 26, 1956 in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, Nigeria.

Education & Career

Ogunnaike attended the University of Lagos for his bachelor's degree, graduating with First Class Honours in Chemical engineering in 1976.

He commenced academic work as a lecturer at the department of Chemical engineering, University of Lagos, in 1982 and became Senior Lecturer and successively, Associate Professor of Chemical engineering. He continued lecturing at the University of Lagos until 1988.

He furthered his studies and earned an M.Sc. degree in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a PhD in Chemical engineering also from the same University in 1981.

Ogunnaike was a Research Engineer with the Process Control group of the Shell Development Corporation in Houston, Texas from 1981 to 1982. He worked as a researcher for DuPont and was also a consultant to several companies including Gore, PPG Industries, and Corning Inc.

He joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 2002 and was appointed to the William L. Friend Professorship of Chemical in 2008.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). He has been a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja.

Research

Ogunnaike is the author and editor of several books, papers and book chapters, used to educate engineers in instrumentation, systems and control at many universities. He was associate editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology and the American Chemical Society’s Industrial & Engineering Chemistry. His research focuses on modeling and control of industrial processes; the application of process analytical technology for control of pharmaceutical processes; identification and control of nonlinear systems; the interaction of process design and process operability; applied statistics; biological control systems; and systems biology with application to neuronal responses and cancer.
