About
Dr. Samson Aisida holds a BSc (Hons) in Physics and Electronics from Adekunle Ajasin University, Ondo State Nigeria, MSc in medical Physics and Ph.D. in soft condensed matter Physics (Applied Physics). My research area in physics with an emphasis on biophysics, biomaterials and biopolymers for biomedical applications. This has demonstrated my curiosity in interdisciplinary studies. The special interest involves the use of metallic, bimetallic and magnetic materials for biomedical applications (drug delivery, hyperthermia, antimicrobial and photodegradation). My work centered more on Biogenic, biomimetic and bioinspired synthesis protocols using polymers like chitosan, alginate, starch, cellulose, PEG, PVP, PVA and CTAB and green extracts from plants for various encapsulation and functionalization to stabilize our nanomaterials. Dr. Samson was a TWAS-NCP Postdoc Fellow at the Abdus Salam National center for Physics, Islamabad, Pakistan, 2019 to 2020, focusing on advanced materials for biomedical applications and radiation-induced materials. He was promoted to the rank of associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), with effect from October 2022. He is an active member of the Nano research group UNN, UNESCO-UNISA Nanoscience/nanotechnology, University of South Africa, Nanosciences African Network (NANOAFNET), iThemba LABS-National Research group, a research fellow at NPU-NCP joint international research center on advanced nanomaterials and defects engineering, Xi'an, China. He has participated in some international collaborations and projects in functional materials from the nano research group Quid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan and COMSAT University, Islamabad, Pakistan. Dr. Samson is fully involved in teaching and supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He has successfully supervised 15 master's students, 2 PhD students and currently, he is supervising 11 master's students and 5 Ph.D students. He has successfully co-supervised two international Ph.D students, one on the intra-African program from Cameroon and one during my Postdoc program at the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Pakistan. Dr Samson has published more than 80 research articles in peer-reviewed journals and 4 book chapters. He is a co-editor for the Magnetochemistry journal, he has reviewed more than 70 journals for Elsevier, Springer, and Taylor and Francis. His current h-index in Web of Science is 28 (Web of Science Researcher IDU-7285-2019), with 3, 215 citations. Dr Samson has participated in more than 30 national and international conferences and workshops. He is currently a postdoc fellow at the Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. He is strongly involved in research and always open for collaboration.
