Dr. Ogunro is an Associate Professor
of Civil Engineering and a faculty fellow of the Global Institute for Energy
and Environmental Systems at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.
His research interests and activities are in areas of: reuse of waste materials
in constructed facilities, durability of leachable aggregates, pressure
dissolution and contaminant leachability, temperature and heat change effects
on soil/contaminant physico-chemical interactions, the risk and reliability
assessment of waste containment systems, soil/inclusion interaction, geoenvironment
and sustainable development especially in developing world. His ongoing
research efforts include: long-term performance of bottom ash in asphalt
concrete, stress-induced leachability/dissolution of discrete particulate
waste materials and aerobic bioreactor landfill research. Some of his recent
projects have been sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHA)/the Massachusetts Highway
Department (MHD). Dr. Ogunro is the author/co-author of 15 technical journal
papers, conference papers and reports. Dr. Ogunro has extensive experience
in electrical energy development. From 1983 through 1989, he worked as
a Senior Project Civil Engineer representing the National Electric Power
Authority (NEPA) of Nigeria on various projects. He has supervised construction
of electric power generating stations, transmission lines, and distribution
systems. Dr. Ogunro is the secretary-general of the International Society
of Environmental Geotechnology (ISEG) and was the organizing secretary
of the 4th International Symposium on Environmental Geotechnology and Global
Sustainable Development held in Boston (Danvers), Massachusetts, USA, from
August 9 –13, 1998. From 1999 – 2000, he served on the science advisory board of the annual international conference on contaminated soils and water. Dr. Ogunro holds Ph.D and Diplôme d’Etudes Approfondies (D.E.A.) degrees in Geotechnical Engineering from the Institut National des Scieces Appliquées (INSA). Dr. Ogunro is also fluent in French..
