Dr. Olatubosun Fasipe is a civil and environmental engineer and researcher in Sustainable Civil Infrastructure Systems. His research work lies at the intersection of water resources engineering, sustainability science, and climate resilience. Driven by the critical role of water in achieving global developmental goals, Dr. Olatubosun's research explores innovative strategies for integrating Water, Energy, and Environment. His expertise includes hydrologic modeling, Decision Support Systems (DSS), Spatio-Temporal Analytics Mapping and Processing (STAMP), and sensor technologies to inform climate-smart infrastructure development. With a commitment to interdisciplinary research and real-world impact, Dr. Olatubosun develops methods in his Water Resources and Sustainable Energy Laboratory (WARSEL) to equip Scientists, Engineers, Environmentalists, Communities, and Policymakers with actionable tools that ensure long-term water security, sound ecosystem health, and optimized infrastructure planning and management.
In 2023, he received the prestigious Miller Research Fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, for his outstanding scientific research, becoming the first African-trained PhD to earn the distinction. Being named a Miller Research Fellow reinforces my commitment to using science to address global challenges, a perspective I have long cared about and am eager to share throughout my life. My research is useful to anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the Water-Energy-Environment Nexus within the context of enduring sustainability stewardship.
He holds membership in numerous professional bodies, including the American Geophysical Union, iAMP-Hydro-Community of Practice, IHA Young Professional in Hydropower, the Weitz Centre for Sustainable Development in Rehovot, Israel (WCSD), the World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET), and the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), among others.
