ONIFADE PELUME
@onifadepelume
Research Assistant and Civil/Structural Engineering researcher focused on sustainable construction materials and site execution.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Research Assistant in the Department of Civil Engineering at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, working in the Prof. S.O. Ajamu Structural Research Laboratory. I’m currently pursuing a PhD (in view) with strong grounding in Material and Structural Engineering.
My academic work centers on sustainable, performance-driven materials—especially compressive strength and fire exposure behavior of cement-stabilized clay bricks and plastic fibre reinforced concrete. I’ve completed my M.Tech thesis and contribute to peer-reviewed publications, including “Investigation of Compressive Strength of Metakaolin Blended Cement Stabilized Clay Bricks” and “Performance evaluate of plastic fibre reinforced concrete exposed to fire.”
Alongside research, I’ve built practical engineering experience through construction and water infrastructure projects, including sedimentation tanks, pipe networking, and a new water scheme at Iganna Town. I bring site supervision ability, cost estimation and planning knowledge, and proficiency with AutoCAD, Orion, and Revit—so I can support both technical analysis and real-world delivery.
