Clement Feyijimi
Researcher in Sustainable Bioenergy
I’m Clement Feyijimi, a doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kansas, United States. I am focusing on how agricultural residues can be converted into clean syngas through biomass gasification. Each year, large amounts of crop waste are left unused or openly burned, and I am working on computational tools that can help turn that material into reliable energy.
Currently, I am developing computational models that combine reaction kinetics, machine-learning-supported CFD, and new scaling methods to understand gasifier behavior across different feedstocks. Through this work, I am connecting laboratory reactor behavior to industrial performance and improving the accuracy of predictions that guide reactor design.
The broader aim is to advance practical bioenergy systems that contribute to decarbonization. My academic background includes an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kansas, United States, a B.Sc. (Hons) in Applied Science Mechanics from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, and a B.Eng. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. These experiences give me a broad and global perspective on sustainable engineering.

I’m Clement Feyijimi, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kansas.
I’m fascinated by biomass gasification and work on innovations that help transform biomass into clean, efficient, and sustainable energy. I earned my M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from KU in 2025, where I focused on advanced combustion modeling of biofuels in EGR-assisted spark-ignition (SI) and compression-ignition (CI) engines. During my program, I was honored to receive the department’s Outstanding Master’s Researcher Award. My current research centers on biomass gasification, developing more efficient and sustainable pathways for bioenergy conversion.
Prior to moving to the U.S., I earned a B.Sc. Honors in Applied Science Mechanics from the University of Pretoria in South Africa (2021).
At the University of Pretoria, my research examined how varying surface roughness characteristics influence convective heat transfer in transitional flow, with an emphasis on flow structure and thermal transport mechanisms.
I also hold a B.Eng. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria (2018).
As an undergraduate, I designed and built an improved sieving machine for fermented cassava mash to enhance food production efficiency.
These experiences shaped my passion for solving real-world problems through engineering innovation.
Today, my work bridges computational modeling with practical energy solutions.
Ultimately, I aim to create cleaner, more sustainable technologies to tackle global energy and environmental challenges.
