15 May 2024

Dr. Jerry O. Adeyemi has been awarded a Y2 rating by the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa. The Y-rating is reserved for young researchers (normally within five years of obtaining their doctorate) who are recognised as having the potential to establish themselves as leading researchers in their field, based on the quality and impact of their recent outputs.

This national recognition affirms the quality of Dr. Adeyemi’s research across nanotechnology, materials science, and sustainable food technologies, and supports his continued work and student supervision at the University of Johannesburg.
