About the Authour
Ikechi Samuel Ozoemelam was born on the 11th of January 1988 in Lagos, Nigeria. He
obtained a B.Sc degree in medical radiography and radiological sciences from the University of Nigeria in 2010. As an undergraduate student, he developed a keen interest in radiation physics and applications in cancer therapy and medical imaging. After a 3-year work period in hospitals in Nigeria and teaching/research engagement at the university of Nigeria, he relocated to Germany where he completed a masters degree in Nuclear Applications with a specialization in Medical Physics in August, 2016 at the university of applied sciences, Aachen. He also obtained a second masters degree in “Functional Imaging, Conventional and Ion Radiotherapy” from the university of applied sciences, wiener Neustadt in June 2017. While in Germany, he completed a year-long internship/master thesis in the applied physics group of the Varian Medical Systems Particle Therapy GmBH, Troisdorf. Since October, 2016, he has been working on his PhD research in the medical physics group at the KVI-Center for advanced radiation technology of the university of Groningen under the supervision of Dr. Peter Dendooven and Prof. Sytze Brandenburg. The results of his PhD research are presented in this thesis.
