Ronk New Age Nursery and Primary School
Akobo, Ibadan. Graduated among the top students and was noted for hard work and sports.
Ibadan-born physicist • Climate modeller • STEM builder
Babatunde Ayoola Awoyemi is an atmospheric physicist, STEM educator, EdTech consultant, researcher, and community-minded technologist translating scientific curiosity into practical learning systems.
Personal background
Babatunde's work is shaped by disciplined faith, practical curiosity, and a steady commitment to making complex science easier for learners and communities to understand.
His technical curiosity began in childhood, where he dismantled transistor radios and televisions to understand their inner mechanics. That exploratory instinct now powers his work across atmospheric physics, climate data, coding, robotics, education consulting, and front-end web development.
On his first day at Federal Government College Ogbomoso, he earned this nickname after entertaining peers by dramatizing the Spider-Man movie trilogy.
Education journey
A learning path spanning early academic excellence, boarding-school resilience, physics, atmospheric science, and continuing educational pursuits.
Akobo, Ibadan. Graduated among the top students and was noted for hard work and sports.
Boarding school experience that developed resilience, independence, and social confidence.
Completed undergraduate study in Physics, moving from disliking secondary-school physics to excelling in it at university level.
Deepened his focus on solar irradiance and atmospheric modelling through postgraduate research.
Educational pursuit focused on secondary physics teaching.
Research & publications
His research combines satellite datasets, atmospheric modelling, numerical tools, and statistical validation to support renewable-energy planning across tropical regions.
Published in the Bulletin of the Science Association of Nigeria, the work estimated direct irradiance from publicly available satellite datasets for all-sky conditions.
This project explored solar structure and variability and was prepared for review by the International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications.
Published in the Journal of Science and Technology, with additional preparation for the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering.
Comprehensive doctoral proposals target satellite-driven solar radiation modelling from 2000–2025 and align with climate-dynamics research priorities at Yunnan University, China.
Professional experience
Teaches Physics, Mathematics, and ICT at Ilado/Sagbo Community Secondary School, Iseyin, strengthening STEM access in public education.
Provides STEM educational services and consultancy to schools, combining coding, robotics, physics, mathematics, teacher training, and programme implementation.
Leads STEM and education-technology consulting across Knowledge Base International Schools in Apapa, Moniya, and Ibadan.
Directed robotics and coding programmes, developed Python, Scratch, and web-development curricula, and contributed to major company revenue growth within a single year.
Delivered Physics and ICT instruction at the secondary-school level.
Analysed agricultural datasets with SPSS and reported on climate resilience in West Africa.
Awarded a certificate of recognition for exemplary work through innovative visual-aid and documentary-based teaching. Also led RCCF Ikot-Ekpene, managing housing and conflict resolution for fellow corps members.
Credentials & recognition
Skills, interests & philosophy
Babatunde describes himself as a “jack of all trades” who learned much of his programming through self-directed trial and error—even at the cost of two damaged laptops. His toolkit includes Python, Fortran, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SPSS, atmospheric and climate modelling, remote sensing, AI prompt engineering, and practical AI usage.
Beyond work, he enjoys simulation games such as Euro Truck Simulator and Need for Speed, football, photography, travel, and arguments inspired by scientific documentaries. Socially, he supports the #ENDSARS movement and believes good governance is essential to liberating Africa from tyranny.
“My ultimate ambition is to serve society by making the world better through STEM education and climate research.”
