Dr. Ayorinde Bamimore

Obafemi Awolowo University

Fall 2022

Dr. Ayorinde Bamimore is a chemical engineering faculty member at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, specializing in process systems engineering and advanced process control. As a Fall 2022 MIT-ETT fellow, he implemented significant teaching innovations upon returning to OAU. He refurbished and redesigned a four-tank process control apparatus to better demonstrate control theory principles to students, and he developed new laboratory practicals on instrument calibration, direct digital control, and control algorithm implementation. These hands-on additions have greatly enhanced students’ understanding of process dynamics and automation. Dr. Bamimore’s research focuses on model predictive control and nonlinear control systems for industrial processes, and he has published work on improving control performance in chemical plants. By mentoring students through real-world control design projects and fostering a problem-solving mindset, he is preparing graduates who are adept at both theory and practice in chemical engineering.
