Ayobami Aigberua is a PhD student supervised by Dr. Timi Tarawou at Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Nigeria. He holds MSc in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry (Distinction) from Niger Delta University between 2012 till date. He has quite number of impressive research and publication record in the field of Applied Environmental/Analytical and Biological Research including, Environmental Treatment Techniques, Risk Assessment and Pollution studies (i.e water, sediment and soil). He has three publications in both international and national journals with another three in press. His research interest had previously focused on environmental biotechnology and pollution treatment techniques, but, currently his research is tending towards heavy metal speciation studies in bottom sediments of Nigerian rivers, most prone to environmental pollution and the attendant release of mobile and labile inorganic metals to the aquatic biota, environmental/health risk assessment and aquatic food toxicity. His research interest is also focusing on the effect of indiscriminate discharge of numerous effluent types across the water ways especially in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
