Opeyemi Sodiq Owolabi is a highly accomplished electrical and electronic engineering student currently in his final year at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. On track to graduate with a first-class honors degree and ranking in the top 2% of his class, Opeyemi has distinguished himself through his academic excellence, research contributions, professional experience, and leadership roles.
Opeyemi's research experience includes his involvement with the Communications Research Group, where he served as a junior research intern from November 2021 to February 2022. During this time, he built a communication gateway, tested its maximum distance coverage, and led a team in developing a transmitting and receiving circuit to enhance communication efficiency and reduce noise.
Apart from his scholarly pursuits, Opeyemi's internship at Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG) has furnished him with invaluable professional experience. He participated in fieldwork with the gas plant operations team from August 2022 to April 2023, working with different departments to maximize the efficiency of the Pressure Reduction and Metering Station (PRMS). His contributions included creating P&IDs for process systems, analyzing heat and mass balance, putting safety precautions in place, and enabling real-time SCADA monitoring.
Opeyemi's technical writing skills are evident in his relevant writing samples, which include a technical report on his industrial work experience at Shell Nigeria Gas Limited and an abstract accepted for the 2024 IEEE Systems Council Student Event, where he will present virtually on optimizing energy efficiency through an SMS-based smart metering system.
Actively involved in student organizations, Opeyemi currently holds leadership positions such as the Chair of the Academic Committee for the Electronic and Electrical Engineering Student Society (EEESS) and Treasurer for the IEEE Obafemi Awolowo University Student Branch (IEEEOAUSB). He was also recently selected as an IEEE PES DAY 2024 Brand Ambassador.
He is currently conducting research on the use of adaptive control systems for robotic control movements and process control systems, with the aim of publishing his findings. This endeavor has allowed him to explore the cutting-edge applications of control theory and has deepened his understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this dynamic field.
Opeyemi's academic and professional achievements have been recognized through several prestigious scholarship awards, including the Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Scholarship, NNPC/TOTAL National Merit Award, Chevron/Agbami Medical and Engineering Professionals Scholarship Award, Petroleum Industry Christian Fellowship International Scholarship Award, and the Osun Development Forum (ODF) Endowment Program Award.
With his exceptional academic record, research experience, professional exposure, leadership roles, and technical skills, Opeyemi Sodiq Owolabi is poised to make significant contributions to the field of electrical and electronic engineering upon graduating.
