For example, bioactive glasses which can stimulate bone regeneration and tooth remineralisation from water glass or locally sourced precursor clay and sand. Also carbon quantum dots (C-dots) and metal nanoparticles (NPs) e.g. silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as versatile nano-carriers for potential drug delivery. We achieved the first synthesis of Boron-10 enriched pentaborane (9), <sup>10<\/sup>B<sub>5<\/sub>H<sub>9<\/sub> and <sup>10<\/sup>B<sub>18<\/sub>H<sub>22<\/sub> as potential payload for <sup>10<\/sup>B atoms in Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) cancer treatment. We are currently investigating multiplexed paper sensors for disease diagnostics, ore beneficiation in alternative energy systems, solgel chemistry of silica to obtain composites as alternatives for low weight structural applications and lipid nanoformulations for enhanced drug delivery systems.<\/p><p>.<\/p><ol><li><strong> Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/li><\/ol><ul><li>Chief Examiner, Oluwole Awokoya Chemistry Competition.
