Ishola Babatunde Isaac, is an Inventor, Roboticist, Researcher, Electrical Engineer, and Softwaredeveloper.
. He obtained a BSc. Electronic and Electrical Engineering (First Class) from Obafemi Awolowo University, where as a student; he was part of the OAU iLab team – research collaboration between Massachusetts Institute of Technology and OAU developing remote online laboratories that serves a good substitute to the conventional laboratories.
He developed a system that allows students to control real laboratory equipment over the internet. The remote labs are a great substitute for experimentation in Nigerian university given the chronic underfunding of higher institutions of learning, where we get to see about 10 students clustered around a piece of lab equipment. With the remote labs, this problem is eliminated as only one equipment is needed regardless the number of students as students only get to access the lab remotely (over the internet) but without the time and space restriction associated with the conventional labs.
