Dr. J.G.O. Ojwang

I am postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. My research interest lies in medical imaging, radiotherapy treatment planning system development and computational physics methods for cancer. Prior to coming to Wake Forest, I was a Carnegie Fellow at Carnegie Geophysical Laboratory where I worked with Dr. Alexander Goncharov. During my Carnegie dalliance, I investigated the melting line of ammonia using laser heated diamond anvil cell (LHDAC) techniques. Ammonia is of geophysical interest because it is one of the major constituents of the "icy planets": Neptune and Uranus. I did my PhD studies at Eindhoven University of Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Rutger van Santen and Prof. Gert Jan Kramer. My thesis work was on modeling hydrogen storage material with particular focus on sodium aluminum hydride. I have also had the pleasure to work and collaborate with Prof. Adri van Duin (developer of ReaxFF) and Prof. William A. Goddard III.
