Prof. Abiodun Mary Odukoya

I am a Professor of Environmental Geochemistry and Medical Geology with over two decades of experience in teaching, research, and community engagement. My work is driven by a deep commitment to understanding and addressing the intricate links between environmental contamination and public health, particularly in the context of urban geochemistry and mining activities. Through my research, I aim to develop science-based solutions that mitigate environmental and health risks, promote sustainable practices, and inform policy.

Passionate about mentoring the next generation, I take pride in supporting and inspiring young women in the geosciences, especially those from underrepresented communities. I believe that empowering women in science is crucial to achieving long-term sustainability and innovation.

As a dedicated advocate for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), I am particularly aligned with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). I am committed to being part of the global effort to realize the SDG 2030 Agenda through research, education, and impactful collaborations.
