Profile
S. C. Iwuji is a growing Human Physiologist and licensed Environmental Health Officer with advanced professional certificates in Public Health; Environmental Health; Science Laboratory Technology and Biomedical Engineering, in addition to Masters degree in Human Physiology and Pharmacology.
His research innovation is concerned with ensuring physiological safety by the control of environmental factors that may influence human body functions, particularly in the developing world.
His works included comparative studies on the effectiveness of some indigenous insecticides in the control of malaria; the effects and safety of some indigenous herbs and physiological applications in biomedical engineering. His research products are very useful to health practitioners, researchers and industries. He is carrying out interventional studies to control ravaging diseases, e.g. diabetes, in tropical countries using indigenous technologies

Profile
As a result of limitation arising from the expensive nature of the physical and chemical processes in liberating the environment from the danger posed by contaminants to humans through an increase biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Engr. Azeez’s research concerned with the statistical and quantification of biodegradation as a bioremediation technique and the development of the transport model during biodegradation and treatment of the contaminants in which many factors such as effect of aerated condition, pH, initial concentration of the contaminants, accessibility and availability of the microbes were to be considered for safety of environments from threat that might be posed by contaminants to humans. Due to rate of consumption of oxygen and gait of individual influenced the cardiorespiratory fitness of individual, walking and exercise of the people irrespective of their state of health. Engr. Azeez concerned with quantification of rate of the oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and gait parameters such as stride length, step length, step time, cadence and gait speed in correlation with level of cardiorespiratory fitness and the effects on the pattern of walking, exercise and healthy condition of individual subjects. World today has become polymeric in nature because of high demand of polymer products and applications due to its availability and cost of production but service life of polymer composites and products cannot be compared with many materials such as ceramics, metals etc. Therefore, there is need to improve the service life and quality of the polymer composites and products. The current research of Engr. Azeez’s based on reinforcement of polymers with natural fibers due to its promising nature and available in the environment so as to develop a model to improve the quality of the fibers reinforced polymers composites and products by the chemical, physical and mechanical analysis of the effects of both treated and untreated natural fibers for the purpose of improve health care delivery.
