Dr. Aladese holds a BS in Engineering Physics and an MS in Physics from Nigeria, and a PhD in Applied Physics from the University of Memphis, U.S. His professional experience spans academia and research across institutions in Nigeria, South Korea, and the United States. He is an active researcher with several peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences. He serves as a Wikipedia editor for the physics domain and also as a reviewer for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

The natural laws we study in physics are expressions of God’s faithfulness and orderly design of creation. Romans 1:20 reminds us that “since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made”. Thus, I see teaching as an opportunity to help students encounter the Creator through His creation, developing both their scientific understanding and their awe of God’s wisdom displayed throughout the universe.
My classes are engaging, hands-on, and supportive. I use demonstrations, simulations, experiments, and real-world examples to help students connect Physics concepts to what they can see and experience. I encourage students to ask questions, think critically, and work through problems rather than simply memorize equations.
I am drawn to AU because of its Christian-centered mission and its Four Pillars. I appreciate the opportunity to teach Physics in an environment that values academic excellence while also nurturing students’ faith, character, sense of community, and purpose.
There is so much more to Physics than what you may see in an introductory class. It opens doors to many exciting fields. For instance, Materials physics supports electronic devices, memory technologies, and the semiconductor industry. Nuclear physics contributes to nuclear energy, space exploration, and naval propulsion. Medical physics applies physics to healthcare, including medical imaging and cancer treatment.
These are just a few examples. Physics can lead to careers in research, engineering, technology, healthcare, energy, space, and much more. There is so much more to discover in Physics.

What I enjoy most about working at AU is the opportunity to connect with students, contribute to their learning, and be part of a welcoming, Christian-centered community. I also appreciate the strong collaboration and support among faculty and staff.
