Joseph Adebanjo, Ph.D., PMP, PMI-ACP
Where deep science meets disciplined delivery.
I'm a synthetic chemist who runs research with the discipline of a certified program manager. I design, make, and characterize advanced materials, and I deliver the program around them: on time, in compliance, fully documented.
One skill set.
Multiple frontiers.
Deep scientific training combined with certified project leadership translates across industries where precision, compliance, and execution decide outcomes.
Materials & Semiconductor Science
Luminescent materials and OLED emitter chemistry, advanced characterization (SEM, XPS, XRD, NMR, photophysics), and DFT modeling on HPC clusters for next-generation materials.
Pharma & Biotech R&D
End-to-end program delivery from discovery to commercialization: CMC strategy, GxP compliance, analytical method development, and regulatory support across IND, NDA, and ANDA.
Program & Process Leadership
Agile and predictive project management, Lean Six Sigma optimization, risk management (FMEA, CAPA), and cross-functional stakeholder alignment.
Featured projects
Advanced Materials Characterization
SEM/EDX, powder XRD, XPS, and NMR linked to fluorescence photophysics (lifetimes, quantum yields, room and cryogenic temperatures) to connect structure, composition, and performance.
HPC DFT Automation Pipeline
Python + Bash pipeline that submits, monitors, and post-processes Gaussian/ORCA/VASP jobs for large-scale materials screening.
Luminescent Coinage-Metal Emitters
Au, Ag, and Cu cyclic trinuclear luminophores with emission tuned through metal, ligand, and supramolecular design for display applications.
A repeatable path from ambiguity to delivery
The same discipline applies whether the deliverable is a validated method, an optimized process, or a published study.
Define
Clarify scope, success criteria, constraints, and compliance requirements before any work begins. No ambiguity survives this phase.
Plan
Break the program into milestones with risk registers (FMEA), resource plans, and stakeholder communication built in from day one.
Execute
Agile iterations with measurable checkpoints. Automate the repetitive, document the auditable, escalate the blocking.
Deliver & Improve
Hand over validated, documented outcomes, then run the retrospective. Every project leaves the process stronger than it found it.
