In a classroom setting, my goal is to provide students with relevant and practical knowledge that they can draw upon as their own.\u00a0 I have about 20 years progressive experience in the expansion, oversight and development of academic programmes, policies and initiatives to enhance student success and achievement. I have senior leadership experience in the course of teaching, mentoring and supervision of numerous students at Yaba College of Technology and University of Lagos. I have profound and in-depth expertise in the development, implementation, evaluation, and continuous improvement of challenging and inspiring curricula. I have supervised 1 HND, over 50 B.Sc., 8 M.Sc., and 1 Ph.D. graduates. I have about 30 publications in both national and foreign journals. My areas of research cut across groundwater and mining investigation, geotechnical and environmental studies, and rock properties Physics. I am a member of the Nigerian Institute of Physics (NIP), Nigerian Mining and Geoscience Society (NMGS) and Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG).<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Journal Reviewer:<\/strong> Journal of African Earth Sciences (Elsevier); Groundwater for Sustainable Development (Elsevier); Geocarto International (Taylor &amp; Francis); Discover\/SN Applied Sciences (Springer Nature); Journal of Geophysics and Engineering (IOP); International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation (Elsevier); Sustainable Water Resources Management (Springer Nature); Heliyon (Elsevier); Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies (Elsevier); Sensors (MDPI); Acta Geophysica (Springer)<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Selected Most Recent Publications\/Contributions to Knowledge<\/strong><\/p><ol><li>Olatinsu, O.B., Adegbulugbe, O.A. &amp; Ige-Adeyeye, A.A.
