Academic Background
My name is Dr. Olukayode “Kayode” Karunwi. I usually go by Kayode (pronounced like the animal coyote but with a “day” ending sound). I have been teaching at Anderson University (AU) since 2019 and I am currently a full-time Assistant Professor in Physics as well as the Coordinator of the Math and Engineering program here at AU. I have degrees in various backgrounds (B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics, M.Sc. and Ph.D.in Bioengineering). This gives me a unique perspective on various topics in Physics. I am currently involved in AI based research.
B.Sc in Physics, Illinois Wesleyan University
M.Sc in Physics, Clark Atlanta University M.Sc in Bioengineering, Clemson University
Ph.D in Bioengineering, Clemson University
Fast Facts
I fell in love with the environment and students and the opportunity to work with students on developing their faith alongside their academic trajectories.
Physics gives you a fundamental understanding of how things work around us and bioengineering finds ways to take fundamental knowledge in solving bio-based problems.
So far everyone has been super helpful and made themselves available to assist me in succeeding.
