Short Profile about Prof. Olatunde Michael Oni
Prof. Olatunde Michael Oni is a seasoned Radiation and Health Physicist with over two decades of experience in academia and research. He has a robust knowledge and interest in medical physics, particularly in radiation therapy and radiological health. With a strong background in Monte Carlo simulations using the GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) toolkit, Prof. Oni has applied these techniques in simulating dose profiles for LINAC machines in External Beam Radiotherapy, as well as for HDR and LDR brachytherapy sources. His skill also spans the simulation of PET and SPECT scanners for planar and voxelised image acquisitions fordiagnostic use and in targeted radionuclide therapy planning using both analytical phantoms and patient-specific CT scans.
Over the years, Prof. Oni has trained and supervised numerous postgraduate students in medical physics and related fields. He has contributed to scientific advancements through several publications. His extensive hands-on experience and skill in Monte Carlo simulations makes him a leading resource person in this field, making this workshop an invaluable opportunity for participants looking to develop their skills in Monte Carlo simulation of biophysical processes.
