Biography

Dr. Matthew Olaleke AREMU currently works as a Professor of Industrial Chemistry at Federal University Wukari (FUW), Taraba State Nigeria. He was a former HOD, Dean of Science and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic at FUW. He was once a Lecturer, Associate Professor, HOD Chemistry and Deputy Dean of Science at Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria. He obtained his B.Sc, M.Sc and Ph.D in Industrial Chemistry from three Nigerian Universities of Ilorin, Lagos and Ado-Ekiti, respectively. Professor M. O. Aremu also obtained certificate in Development of University Based Entrepreneurship Centre at Kennesaw University, Atlanta, USA in August 2015. He does research into isolation, structure & functional relationship of proteins, lipids and physico-chemical properties of under–utilized plant seeds and pulps. His research group won Institution and TETFund research grants at different times. He has published over 130 peer-reviewed articles in national and international journals of repute as principal author/co-author. He has successfully supervised and graduated 5 PhD and 8 M.Sc students. He is also a member of editorial board of quite a number of peer-review journals and has served as a reviewer for over 10 different journals with high impact factors. Prof. M. O. Aremu is a fellow of Chemical Society of Nigeria (FCSN) and Institute of Chartered Chemists of Nigeria (FICCON).
