He has contributed more than 150 publications (journal, refereed conference proceedings, books/book chapters, and 2 patents) as knowledge capacity, and mentored 6 postdoctoral fellows, and supervised to completion 11 PhD, 21 MSc, and 6 Postgraduate Diploma students as the human capacity to these fields. Professor Daramola's research has a two-fold focus on achieving a balance between fundamental research and industrial application aimed at proffering solutions to various problems mitigating sustainable energy and clean environment in South Africa, Africa, and the world at large. He also completed several certified training programmes in a wide range of fields, which has inspired my multidisciplinary approach to solving problems.
