Prof. O. E. Oyewande is a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Ibadan. He obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Physics from the University of Ibadan, and a postgraduate diploma in condensed matter physics from the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy. He earned his Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D. equivalent) in theoretical physics from the University of Göttingen, Germany.

His research expertise spans statistical mechanics of disordered and complex systems, mathematical modelling, quantum theory, and materials science. He is committed to applying his extensive training and experience in theoretical physics to develop interdisciplinary solutions, integrating principles of physics, mathematics, and computation to address problems in science, engineering, and technology.

He is available for research collaborations and joint funding initiatives aimed at solving scientific and technological problems. In such cases, physics theories—his area of expertise and experience—are highly applicable and useful for strengthening understanding, problem-solving, and generalisation.
