Dr Lukman Yusuf

  • Research Associate (School of Chemistry)

Biography

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil, Nigeria, in 2010. I then proceeded to earn a Master's degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with a major in Automatic Control Systems) from Bayero University Kano, Nigeria, in 2015.

I completed my PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with a focus on Acoustic Cavitation and its Applications) at the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom, in 2022. I have worked as a Lecturer at Bayero University Kano, Nigeria, and I am currently a Research Associate at the School of Chemistry, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom.

Research interests

  • Cavitation and its application
  • Sonochemistry
  • Wastewater treatments
  • Sustainable recycling process
  • Control system
  • Green energy production
  • Interdisciplinary research
