Akinloluwa is a PhD student in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on the development of a virtual reality-based tool for training construction workers on manual handling tasks to mitigate the risks of musculoskeletal disorders. The trajectory of his academic contributions is marked by eight impactful publications in leading Q1 journals, prestigious peer-reviewed conferences, and peer-reviewed book chapters. His educational background encompasses a Master of Science in Information and Technology from Leeds Beckett University and a Bachelor of Science in Electronic & Electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.
To contribute to the open research culture of the University, Akinloluwa conducted a study to create better cognizance among engineering postgraduate research students on how to apply open research practices at different stages of their research. To achieve this, a decision tree has been developed based on the review of literature and the interview of experts of open research at the University. The decision tree is developed to guide postgraduate research students on useful relevant resources that contain information about suitable open research practices and their related tools for implementation.
