Oluseyi was previously part of the faculty at the Florida Institute of Technology, and from 2016 to 2019 was the space science education lead in NASA’s Space Mission Directorate, where he provided strategic leadership and management for the directorate’s investments in science education and communications.

His expertise has been featured in media outlets such as National Public Radio, CNN, ABC, NBC, and National Geographic. He was even interviewed by world-famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on his “Star Talk” podcast.

Oluseyi also appears as a host and scientific authority on Science Channel television shows, “How the Universe Works,” “Spaces Deepest Secrets,” and “Strip the Cosmos.”

“He is a renowned astrophysicist whose work has not only been exciting but who has been, and will continue to be, inspiring to students around the country,” Mason Provost Mark Ginsberg said. “Now, he brings his inspirational abilities to Mason to help the next generation of astrophysicists and astronomers.”

Oluseyi will begin teaching classes in the Spring 2022 semester. Until then he will participate by interacting with students and faculty, and being a visible presence on campus, Ginsberg said.
