About

Dr. Anyomi joined Redeemer as an assistant professor in 2023. Prior to joining the faculty, he worked with the Ontario Public Service as a Senior Research Analyst and as a Forest Succession Research Scientist. He also did Postdoctoral Research work at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, the Université Laval in Quebec and Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. He was a Sessional instructor at the University of British Columbia, Kelowna campus and is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Institute of Forestry Research, University of Quebec in Abitibi-Temiscamingue (IRF-UQT). Along with teaching, he is presently serving as a member of the Academic Program Committee at Redeemer University.
