Biography
Godwin Ayoko is a Professor of Chemistry, and Fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI). Professor Ayoko has received several research grants and published extensively on a wide range of topics, including monitoring, modelling and application of multivariate data analysis techniques to pollutants in water, stormwater, sediment and air, as well as synthesis and applications of nanomaterials for sensing and removal of water pollutants. He received the 2014 RACI Analytical and Environmental Chemistry Division’s Environment Medal for extended excellence in pure and applied scientific work in Australia that involves substantial Environmental Chemistry.
