EDIAGBONYA Thompson Faraday is Professor in the Faculty of Environmental Studies in University of Lay Adventists of Kigali ,Rwanda and Department of Chemical Sciences at Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology in Okitipupa, Ondo State. He received his BSc (Edu). Hons in Chemistry and MSc in Environmental &Analytical Chemistry from the University of Benin, Nigeria, in 1999 and 2005, respectively. He earned a PhD in Environmental Chemistry from the same University of Benin in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, in June 2011. He joined Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology in 2013 as a Lecturer 11 and ascended through the ranks to Associate Professorship in Environmental Chemistry in October 2022. Prior to that, he worked at Western Delta University in Oghara, Delta, Nigeria, from 2012 to 2013.His primary scientific interests include environmental chemistry and toxicology. His research interests span a variety of disciplines, all of which draw on his skills in analytical and environmental chemistry: Environmental pollution and toxicology, with an emphasis on the environmental impact of toxic substances and their effects on humans and the environment, the origin, transport, distribution, and fate of environmental pollutants (such as OCP, PCBs, PAHs, and heavy metals, as well as noxious gases, greenhouse gases, and atmospheric particles), human exposure, associated health risks, and ecotoxicology. It comprises aquatic pollution and chemical pollution in big and small-scale artisanal mining, water quality assurance and quality control analysis of subsurface, surface, and air pollutants. In terms of environmental contamination, he studies OCP, PCBs, PAHs, heavy metals, radionuclide pollution of soils, river sediments, surface waters, crab, fish from the general aquatic ecosystem, and air particle matter. He has extensive experience teaching in secondary schools and in universities. He is a member of reputable associations such as the Environmental Society of Nigeria and the Nigeria Chemical Society. Prof. Ediagbonya is a seasoned researcher and aficionado with an impressive track record in environmental chemistry. He has over ninety (90) publications to his credit, including over seventy (70) Scopus Journals published by Wiley,Tailor and Francis,Inderscience, Springer and Elsevier. Prof. Ediagbonya\'s accomplishments go beyond his scientific pursuits; he has held various prominent posts. He formerly held the positions of Head of the Department of Chemical Science, sub-dean, director of the Students\' Industrial Work Experience Scheme and Examination Officer. He has been a member of the Senate representing the congregation since 2015. He has also received numerous awards, including a DAAD Fellowship in Germany and numerous research grants, to name a few Tertiary Education Trust fund (TETFUND) 2022 AND 2023.He was awarded a postdoctoral scholarship at the Max Planck Institute of Chemistry in 2020.
