Olumide T Oni

Olumide Oni earned his Ph.D. in Nanoscience from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in May 2023. His dissertation focused on the analysis of periodic oscillations of APDs in reaction diffusion waves with nonlinear diffusion in tissues with peripheral nerve injury (PNI). He also holds a Master of Science in Physics from North Carolina Central University and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics from the University of Lagos, Nigeria.

Dr. Oni’s academic and research journey has been marked by his deep interest in nonlinear dynamics, reaction-diffusion systems, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. His expertise spans areas such as time-resolved spectroscopy, computational modeling, and neuronal signal propagation. Dr. Oni has developed and implemented numerical models to simulate mechanisms in healthy and injured nerves and has extensive experience in data visualization and analysis using Python, MATLAB, and related tools.

As a researcher, Dr. Oni has contributed to several peer-reviewed publications, including his most recent work, "Propagation of Neuronal Signals in Intact and Injured Peripheral Nerves: The Role of Nonlinear Diffusion of Transmembrane Potential," published in Informatics in Medicine Unlocked. His previous publication explored photoconductance and millimeter-wave absorption in silicon-based systems.

In the Driving Research, Entrepreneurship, and Academics through Mastering STEM (DREAM-STEM) program, Dr Oni is focused on developing cutting-edge physics and engineering experiments, creating innovative STEM curricula, and mentoring undergraduate students. He is excited to contribute to the DREAM-STEM program at NCCU by leveraging his background in computational physics, experimental research, and STEM education to inspire and support the next generation of scientists and engineers.
