Dr. Enoruwa Obayiuwana received his Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria, in 2003. He further pursued his Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria, where he graduated with distinction in 2010. His academic journey culminated in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in 2017, a program fully sponsored by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) Scholarship. Dr. Obayiuwana has built a solid career in academia and research, gaining extensive experience in wireless communications, network optimization, and radio resource management. His global research exposure includes serving as a visiting researcher at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, in 2014, where he contributed to advanced studies in cognitive radio networks and heterogeneous wireless systems. Currently, he is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Nigeria. He has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed technical papers, which have been published in leading international journals and conference proceedings, including those of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and Springer Nature. His research interests focus on radio resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks, cooperative communication in cognitive radio networks, and spectrum optimization techniques for next-generation wireless systems. In recognition of his contributions to engineering and research, he is a MIT-Empowering the Teachers (MIT-ETT) Fellow and an active professional member of esteemed engineering bodies, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). Dr. Obayiuwana remains committed to advancing knowledge in wireless communications and mentoring the next generation of engineers and researchers in Nigeria and beyond.
