Mr. Oluwatobi Solomon Olaleye
Lecturer II
Department of Water Resources and AgroMeteorology, Faculty of Agriculture
Area of Specialization: Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Biography
Lecturer II and Agrometeorology Researcher specializing in crop–water–soil dynamics, hydro-climatic modelling, and spatial data science. Research focuses on resolving intra-field yield variability, determining crop biophysical stress thresholds under climate volatility, and coupling process-based agroecosystem simulation models with machine learning. Committed to institutional capacity building through the integration of advanced spatial modelling and precision agronomic frameworks into the Nigerian higher education curriculum, in support of national caloric stability and climate resilience.
