Omowunmi "Wunmi" A. Sadik (born 19 June 1964) be Nigerian-American professor, chemist, den inventor wey dey work for New Jersey Institute of Technology.[1] She develop microelectrode biosensors wey fit detect drugs den explosives, wey she dey work on technologies wey go help recycle metal ions from waste for environmental den industrial use.[2] For 2012, Sadik co-found one non-profit wey dem call Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization.[3]

Early life den education

[edit | edit source]

Dem born Sadik for 1964 insyd Lagos, Nigeria. Ein family get plenty scientists wey support ein interest for physics, chemistry den biology. She collect ein bachelor’s degree for chemistry from University of Lagos for 1985, wey later she bag master’s degree for chemistry for 1987.[1] After dat, Sadik attend Wollongong University for Australia. By 1994, she collect ein Ph.D. degree for chemistry from Wollongong.[4][5]

Career

[edit | edit source]

A postdoctoral fellowship from de National Research Council support Sadik as researcher for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from 1994 to 1996.[4] After dat, she accept position as assistant professor of chemistry for Binghamton University, Binghamton, New York. By 2002, she get promotion to associate professor, den by 2005 she cam be full professor. Na dat same time she sanso cam be director for Center for Advanced Sensors & Environmental Systems (CASE) for Binghamton. For 2019, Dr. Sadik move go New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), as chair for Department of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences den director for NJIT BioSensors Materials for Advanced Research & Technology (The BioSMART Center).[6] She sanso serve as visiting faculty member for Naval Research Laboratory, Cornell University, den Harvard University.[7] For 2024, dem appoint am as de first Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs for NJIT.

Sadik dey study surface chemistry, wey she dey put plenty focus for how to take build biosensors wey fit work well for environmental chemistry.[4] She discover say conducting polymers get better promise for sensing applications.[8][9] She create microelectrode biosensors wey fit detect small small organic materials,[10] technology wey dem fit use for drug den bomb detection.[11][12] She still dey research how to detoxify wastes like organochlorine compounds wey dey environment, so dat she fit develop technology wey go help recycle metal ions from industrial den environmental waste.[13] For one project, microbial enzymes increase de conversion of highly toxic chromium (VI) to non-toxic chromium (III) from 40% reach 98%.[14] Sadik get more dan 135 peer-reviewed research papers den patent applications. She hold U.S. patents on particular types of bichair oors.[4] For 2011, she be chairperson for de first Gordon Conference on Environmental Nanotechnology.[15] For 2012, Sadik den Barbara Karn join hand found de Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization, wey be non-profit, international professional society wey dey promote responsible use of nanotechnology worldwide.[16]

Sadik be elected fellow for Royal Society of Chemistry (2010), American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (2012), American Chemical Society (2023), den National Academy of Inventors (2024). She dey work plus Environmental Protection Agency den National Science Foundation, wey she dey part of National Institutes of Health Study Panel on Instrumentation den Systems Development.[4] She still dey do international collaborations with UNESCO International Center of Biodynamics for Bucharest, Romania, Ege University for Turkey, den University of Fukui for Japan.[13]
