Opeyemi Ayodejl Akogun

Dr. Opeyemi Ayodejl Akogun is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB Potsdam) within the Department of System Process Engineering. Their work focuses on biomass conversion, renewable energy sources, and thermochemical conversion processes.

Research interests include:

• Multifunctional biomaterials
• Integrated residue management
• Waste-to-wealth strategies

Key publication in 2025 explores the transition from hydrothermal carbonization to humification/fulvification of wheat straw, aiming to reduce secondary hydrochar and synthesize artificial humic substances through thermochemical pathways.
