Kehinde Falua advances sustainable food and materials systems by valorizing agricultural byproducts into high-performance biobased polymers and functional packaging materials. He designs and optimizes starch- and carbohydrate-based films, composites, foams, and aerogel-derived structures, emphasizing biocomposite processing and nanofiller integration—particularly cellulose nanomaterials—to enhance mechanical, barrier, and physicochemical performance. His work further elucidates structure–property–processing relationships in biomaterials, complemented by environmental footprint modelling and techno-economic assessment. His research informs scalable, resource-efficient, and economically viable bioprocessing pathways for sustainable materials innovation.
