My name is Opeyemi Ogunniyan, I received my Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 2016. In the fall of 2019, I joined the Advanced Process and Energy Systems Group. I enjoy playing soccer, reading books and cooking in my spare time.

My research focus is on the plant wide modelling of low pressure ammonia synthesis, microwave reactor modelling and techno-economic optimization. The aim of my research is to develop ammonia from green hydrogen at low pressure leveraging the onshore wind energy availability in the US. This process has shown to be more energy efficient and environmentally benign as compared to the conventional Haber-Bosch process. Also, this process encourages the transportation of hydrogen as liquid ammonia and also the readily development of ammonia as carbon neutral liquid fuel and an alternative to carbon fuels.
