About
Dr. Adeayo Sotayo is a leading researcher in sustainable timber engineering, with a core focus on advancing the circular bioeconomy through bio-based construction materials. His major contribution lies in developing and validating alternatives to conventional adhesives in timber structures, particularly through the use of compressed wood and hardwood dowel-type fasteners. In his highly cited 2021 experimental study, Dr. Sotayo systematically investigated how accelerated ageing conditions affect the pull-out capacity of these wood-based connectors, providing critical data that supports their long-term viability in structural applications. This work directly addresses the negative environmental impact of adhesive-dependent timber construction, offering a path toward easier end-of-life disposal or re-use of structural components. With 10 citations on this single paper, his research is gaining traction among engineers and material scientists seeking to decarbonize the built environment. Dr. Sotayo’s innovative approach not only demonstrates the mechanical performance of all-wood joinery but also champions a shift toward truly renewable, recyclable building systems—a vital step for a sustainable future.
