Rilwan O. Balogun graduated from the University of Lagos with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Applied Physics (Electronics), a Master of Science in Physics (Energy-Option), and a Doctorate in Physics (Condensed Matter, Material Modelling, and Energy).

He is currently with the Basic Science Unit, School of Science and Technology, Pan Atlantic University and teaches Physics and other related courses at the undergraduate level.

His areas of interest include wide band-gap material modelling for electronics applications, solar cell optimization, and material modelling of chalcogenide perovskites for sustainable renewable energy. He is willing to work with others.
