Daniel I. Adeniranye, PhD

Daniel I. Adeniranye, PhD, known to students and colleagues as ProfDan, is a faculty member in the Department of Engineering Education at The Ohio State University. He is an engineering and computing education researcher who studies how students use, limit, and decline generative AI, how AI competency demands are defined across engineering and the technical workforce, and how students move through engineering pathways. His recent work on AI in higher education appears in Computers and Education Open and the proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

Trained first as a mechanical engineer, he holds degrees from institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Nigeria, and has taught and designed learning programs in the United States, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. He earned his PhD in Engineering and Computing Education at Florida International University, where he was named Outstanding PhD Graduate of the College of Engineering and Computing. He has contributed to federally funded engineering education projects supported by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Defense, totaling more than $24 million. He is a research fellow funded by the National Science Foundation, a member of the Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society, a past Chair of the ASEE Student Division, and has served on a National Science Foundation review panel for undergraduate STEM education. He is the founder of Usewright.
