Damilola Daramola

Damilola Daramola is an Assistant Professor at Northeastern University, jointly appointed in the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry & Chemical Biology within the College of Engineering. His research focuses on Electrochemical Engineering, Resource Recovery (particularly phosphorus and nitrogen), Wastewater Remediation, and Sustainable Materials such as Thermosetting Composites and Polymer Upcycling. He leads the REPRODUCE Laboratory, which aims to reverse human impacts on Earth’s natural cycles via innovative Food-Energy-Water Nexus approaches.

Education: BS (2004) and PhD (2011) in Chemical Engineering from Ohio University. Honors include the 2024 Scialog Fellowship for Sustainable Materials and 2023 Ohio University White Research Award. He actively mentors undergraduates through PEAK Experiences Awards and collaborates on projects like electrified nutrient recovery from wastewater and carbon-negative product development.

Research projects include electrochemical phosphorus recovery systems, CO2 mineralization using natural brines, and composite materials from coal waste. His work bridges computational modeling (e.g., process simulations) with experimental methods (e.g., rheological analyses of struvite composites).

Key awards highlight his contributions to sustainable resource management: Scialog Fellow (2024), Ohio University White Award (2023), ORAU Ralph E. Powe Award (2022). He is affiliated with the Electrochemical Society and American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Lab activities emphasize holistic chemical engineering principles, integrating environmental sustainability with industrial processes. Recent grants support projects like municipal wastewater treatment integration and carbon-negative product development.
