Koami Soulemane Hayibo, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Associate at Western University. His research focuses on solar photovoltaic systems, floating photovoltaics, agrivoltaics, renewable hydrogen, life cycle assessment, environmental data acquisition, and microplastic analysis. His work is centered on practical renewable-energy systems, with attention to field performance and environmental trade-offs. Koami earned his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Western University, where his doctoral research examined the design, feasibility, and winter operation of floating solar photovoltaic systems in cold regions. His work combines field experimentation, sensor-based monitoring, embedded data acquisition, PV performance modeling, GIS-based energy assessment, and techno-environmental analysis. At Western, Koami has contributed to projects on foam-based floating PV, PV-powered hydrogen production, agricultural fence-mounted PV, vertical swinging PV systems, PV testing, and sustainability assessment. Before joining Western, he completed his Master’s degree at Michigan Technological University, where he studied solar energy pricing and the use of solar panels to reduce water losses in arid regions. Koami has received competitive awards and funding, including a Fulbright Fellowship, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and was a finalist for the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship.
