Adeleye’s research cuts across multiple disciplines, including water chemistry, environmental and analytical chemistry, environmental nanotechnology, and biogeochemistry. He is interested in improving water sustainability by (1) investigating the release, fate, and effects of emerging pollutants in the environment; and (2) developing novel technologies for water treatment and pollution remediation in different environmental compartments. Before joining UC Irvine, he was a National Research Council (NRC) research associate at the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) in Narragansett, RI. Prior to that, he worked as a researcher at the University of California Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology, first as a graduate student researcher and later as a postdoctoral scholar.
