A Professor of Radiation and Health Physics, Olatunde Michael Oni, is set to deliver the 50th in the series of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH, inaugural lectures. The lecture scheduled to hold at the Great Hall of the university on Thursday, February 24, 2022, is titled “Towards The Science Of Taming The Body Snatcher: Tools To See The Unseen.” Oni is a passionate Radiation and Health Physicist with a great flair for scientific computation and modelling. He is very proficient in the provisioning of IT and allied technologies, most especially in Health and Education. Born in Ibadan to the family of Martin and Sabina Oni, of Oke-Esu Compound, Ibadan, he started his academic sojourn at Christ the King Convent School, Agugu, Ibadan, for his primary education. He had his secondary education at Oluyoro High School (now Army Barrack Grammar School), Iwo-Road, Ibadan, before proceeding to Baptist High School, Iwo, for Advanced Level studies and later to Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University), Ago-Iwoye, where he bagged Bachelor of Science, with Honours in Physics. On completion of the mandatory national service, Oni had postgraduate studies at the Department of Physics, University of Ibadan, where he bagged Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Physics. Having been from parents who were both teachers, it is no gain-saying that Oni is a born-teacher, with genes for teaching. Records and testimonies from his students at Ovu Grammar School, Ovu, Delta State, Nigeria; Loyola College, Ibadan, Nigeria; Adekile Goodwill Grammar School, Ibadan, Nigeria, are pointers to his meticulous and passionate teaching styles. He teaches Physics in the Yoruba Language! Research Interests Professor Olatunde Oni combines his versatility in computational methods with effective handling and manipulation of instruments for his research activities. Starting from the design and fabrication of an electronic electroscope; and modelling of the focusing properties of an electrostatic lens, Prof. Oni’s research activities have been to harness the concepts of Radiation Physics for minimizing radiological risks for the public and during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving radiation use, most especially for the low- and middle-income countries, LMICs, to increase the radiotherapy success story. Services within the university system Apart from lecturing and research, Professor Oni has served LAUTECH in various capacities which include: Acting Head of Department of Pure and Applied Physics Director, Information and Communication Technology Centre Dean, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences Chairman, University Ceremonials Committee Chairman, University Security Committee Chairman/Member of several committees Some other universities in Nigeria and overseas have also enjoyed the services of Oni.
