Personal Statement
Dr. Adeogun, Oluwakemi Yemisi is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Lagos. She holds a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics from Lagos State University (2007), M.Sc. in Physics (Geophysics option) from the University of Lagos (2012), and a Ph.D. in Exploration Geophysics from the University of Lagos (2017).
Dr. Adeogun was a Postgraduate Fellow at the Earth Science and Reservoir Services Unit, Chevron Nigeria Limited, Lagos (2013–2014), and later served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the CSIR–National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, India (2019–2020).
Her research interests lie in Exploration Geophysics and Near-Surface Geophysics. She has presented papers at both local and international conferences and has published over thirty articles in reputable national and peer-reviewed international journals. She has also supervised numerous undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Dr. Adeogun is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE), the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD – Lagos Chapter), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the Earth Signature Research Group (ESREG). Additionally, she serves as a reviewer for Applied Water Science, SN Applied Sciences, and the International Journal of Plant and Soil Science. Professor Obashoro-John is a prolific scholar and public intellectual whose works include the books Caring for Older Persons (2007), Successful Retirement (2016), and her University of Lagos Inaugural Lecture, Programme Evaluation: Back to the Future (2013). Her international scholarship includes a co-authored chapter with Professor Brian Findsen of the University of Waikato, New Zealand, addressing lifelong learning for older adults, published in Adult Education and Social Justice: International Perspectives (Firenze University Press, 2023). She has also co-authored peer-reviewed articles in public health and community education. A sought-after speaker and facilitator, she has consistently championed the view that retirement represents an opportunity for renewal and purposeful living, describing it as “freedom into freedom.” |
