Dr Oluwayemi Oladunjoye

About

I joined KU as a Lecturer in Built Environment in the Department of Civil Engineering, Surveying and Construction Management. I was previously at Loughborough University as a University Teacher in construction management. Before moving to academia, I worked as an Architect and Construction manager in different organisations where I developed a good knowledge of what is required to deliver world-class building projects.

My research interest is in sustainable construction, digital technologies in the built environment, renewable energy and flood risk management.
