个人简介
Andrew was an excellent mathematician. He was interested in many problems of applied mathematics, principally in the area of modelling using finite-element methods. His greatest research contributions were to problems arising in biomedical engineering. Andrew entered this field in the 1990s, studying finite-element models of the heart in collaboration with Professor Peter Hunter. This quickly led to the establishment of his own group of students and postdocs, with a focus on measuring and modelling the heart’s electrical activity. In 2003, Andrew was awarded a James Cook Research Fellowship to study electrical activity in the stomach and intestinal tract. This was a considerable honour and a fitting testimonial to his status as a rising star, given that he had only just become an associate professor.
Andrew was a hero of the Department of Engineering Science. Although he did most of his research in the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, his loyalties were to the Department, and he was a champion of the Engineering Science degree. He could see the opportunity provided by the degree to students who, like himself, came from less privileged backgrounds. As Head of Department from 2008 to 2010, Andrew committed himself to the task of promoting the Engineering Science degree throughout the country to maximise the potential for all students to benefit from the same opportunity that he had enjoyed. He created "New Zealand's next Engineering Scientist" Modelling Competition, which is carried out each year in over 100 New Zealand secondary schools. It offers scholarships (now called the Pullan Prize) to the winners and serves to attract some of the country's brightest mathematical talents to our programme.
