Dr. Abayomi Olaitan, or “Daniel”, graduated from the Solouki group with a PhD in chemistry (Analytical Division) in December 2015. He joined the team in the Spring of 2011 while Professor Solouki was still at the University of Maine. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Olabisi Onabanjo University in Nigeria. Dr. Olaitan is currently a postdoctoral scholar at the University of West Florida in Pensacola.
