Dr Ayodeji Abioye

During my PhD research with the Aeronautic, Astronautic, and Computational Engineering (AACE) academic unit of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Southampton, I was focused on investigating the use of novel human computer interfaces to control small unmanned multi-rotor aircraft.

I graduated with a BEng (first class honours) in Electronics Engineering from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in 2012. 

MSc (distinction) in Mechatronics from Newcastle University, UK in 2015.

Within the two years period between his BEng and MSc, I was a graduate assistant at the Modibbo Adama University of Technology (MAUTECH), Yola, were I assisted in Circuit design, Communication, control, and electrical machine courses for a year and a half. 

I was also involved in two startups: MEL labs and SetsCentral Ltd.

Besides my involvement in academics and the industry, I was also involved in community development projects, such as the GLP project, for which I was awarded the AD13A best serving NYSC Corp member.
