Ahmet Orun

Ahmet Orun (born in 1962) is a British/Turkish scientist and consultant.
He completed his BSc at Istanbul Technical University (in Remote Sensing) and MPhil degree at Oxford Brookes University in Satellite Image Processing. He obtain his PhD at YÄ±ldÄ±z Technical University, Istanbul, in Computer Vision Science. He worked at the Turkish Research Council TUBITAK (1991-2000) as a Senior Scientist/Lecturer at Artificial Intelligent systems Section and meanwhile assigned as Member of NATO's Electronic Warfare Study Group (1998-1999)(Ref: Marquis Who's who in the World, 2005-2015 and Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering). He was a Research Fellow (2001-2003) in the Skin Cancer Project at the University of Birmingham's Computer Science Department. He is currently a lecturer in (Faculty of technology)(part-time) at De Montfort University, Centre for Computational Intelligence in Leicester (ref). Meanwhile he is working in Health and Life Science Faculty at De Montfort University (Pharmaceutical Lab) for "highly innovative" laser speckle imaging applications in tablet inspection.
Orun was main developer of the Orun & Natarajan Sensor Model in 1990 at Oxford Brookes University, with K. Natarajan. This model is currently used for various satellite imagery such as KOMPSAT, SPOT and IKONOS. Nowadays, most commercial software uses this sensor model.
He is also developer of "ILSC" method which has been successfully used for skin analysis purposes (e.g. Skin modelling, (ref), etc.) as a low-cost and non-invasive method developed at De Montfort University and applied to tablet inspection systems(ref)
