Olusanjo Fadiya

Olusanjo Fadiya is a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science, University of South Wales. He is a member of the Engineering Research and Innovation Group and his work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Industrial Engineering (Materials Logistics Systems) from the University of Wolverhampton (2008-2012)
• MSc in Mechanical Engineering from University College London (2004-2005)
• BEng in Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing option) from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria (1997-2002)

Dr. Fadiya has developed expertise in computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) with specialization in computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided process planning (CAPP). His research spans design, modeling, analysis, CNC programming, additive manufacturing, and process planning. His scholarly fingerprint reveals strong connections across manufacturing (100%), engineering (96%), mechanical engineering (81%), logistics (80%), construction industry (72%), and planning processes (64%).

His publication record shows a progression from construction logistics research (2010-2015) examining plant theft, construction waste, and ICT-based logistics frameworks, to his most recent 2023 work focusing on student-centered educational methodology using appreciative inquiry. This represents a notable expansion of his research into engineering education while maintaining connections to quality management principles.

Professional contributions include serving as an External Examiner at the University of Southern Queensland (April-June 2019).
