Jacob Adetunji

Jacob Adetunji is an Associate Lecturer at the College of Life and Natural Sciences, with research interests spanning geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, and financial mathematics. His work focuses on iron oxidation states in mantle-derived minerals, chromitite formation, and applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy in geology. He has contributed to studies on ophiolites, Archaean mantle evolution, and the geochemistry of meteorites. Notably, he has explored the Harmattan dust's environmental impact and applied mathematical modeling to UK pension systems and debt repayment strategies.

His research highlights include investigations into spinel chemistry in the Oman Ophiolite, Fe3+/ΣFe ratios in chromitites, and the role of high-grade metamorphism in mineral transformation. Collaborative projects with institutions globally have advanced understanding of mantle processes and economic mineral deposits. Adetunji also bridges geosciences with finance, analyzing socio-economic challenges like end-of-life care costs and pension reforms.

Publications span prestigious journals in geology (e.g., Lithos, Geoscience Frontiers) and applied mathematics. His interdisciplinary approach reflects a dual focus on Earth's geological history and quantitative solutions to modern societal issues.
