Profile

As a result of limitation arising from the expensive nature of the physical and chemical processes in liberating the environment from the danger posed by contaminants to humans through an increase biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Engr. Azeez’s research concerned with the statistical and quantification of biodegradation as a bioremediation technique and the development of the transport model during biodegradation and treatment of the contaminants in which many factors such as effect of aerated condition, pH, initial concentration of the contaminants, accessibility and availability of the microbes were to be considered for safety of environments from threat that might be posed by contaminants to humans. Due to rate of consumption of oxygen and gait of individual influenced the cardiorespiratory fitness of individual, walking and exercise of the people irrespective of their state of health. Engr. Azeez concerned with quantification of rate of the oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and gait parameters such as stride length, step length, step time, cadence and gait speed in correlation with level of cardiorespiratory fitness and the effects on the pattern of walking, exercise and healthy condition of individual subjects. World today has become polymeric in nature because of high demand of polymer products and applications due to its availability and cost of production but service life of polymer composites and products cannot be compared with many materials such as ceramics, metals etc. Therefore, there is need to improve the service life and quality of the polymer composites and products. The current research of Engr. Azeez’s based on reinforcement of polymers with natural fibers due to its promising nature and available in the environment so as to develop a model to improve the quality of the fibers reinforced polymers composites and products by the chemical, physical and mechanical analysis of the effects of both treated and untreated natural fibers for the purpose of improve health care delivery.

Profile

Biomedical Technology is a relatively new field in the University curriculum in Nigeria. With the advent of so many new monitoring, diagnostic and even therapeutic devices in the medical field, it became imperative to create a field that will be purely dedicated to such technologies.

Biomedical Technology is a wide and very interesting field, offering opportunity in developing keen interest in the field of medical diagnostics, its application not only at the clinic level but beyond that to the community. Thus Biomedical Technology has its application even in the field of public health.

The emphasis of the government in providing health care for its citizens has been on Primary health care. One of the major pivots of primary health care is that it be delivered through appropriate technology and with the full participation of the community and at a cost that the community is able to afford at any point in their development.

As a physician with public health training, the field of Biomedical Technology offers opportunity to integrate appropriate technology into community health and also look for technologies that are suitable to our developing economy.
