A milestone day!! Nicolas Davey defended very well and will henceforth be known as #100 or Dr 100 at formal events. Minimal cardiovascular modeling and system ID.
There was celebration with the ongoing crop of people who keep me young!
@UCNZ@UCEngineering@LiegeUniversite
In the latest returns, #99, formerly known as Dael, and now Dr 99 on formal occasions, masterfully defended her thesis on using technology and therapeutic roleplay in Autism and ASD focused contexts this past Monday.
@UCNZ@UCEngineering
And the beat goes on, with huge congratulations from myself and Cong to #98 (formerly known as Trudy) or Dr 98 formally.
An excellent defence of her thesis on digital twins in mechanical ventilation for ICU care!
Thanks also to @UCNZ, @UCEngineering
A very late and last return on 2025 - Congratulations to Rongqing. Hereafter Dr 97, or just 97 to his friends!
I hosted (at UC in part) and co-supervised his PhD at the University of Freiburg and Hochschule Furtwangen.
@UCNZ, @UCEngineering, @HFurtwangen
Congratulations to Baxter Kamana-Williams, now known as Dr #94, PhD!
Great thesis and oral exam defence today, well done, mate!!
"SMART HOMES, SUSTAINABLE FUTURES NOVEL MODELS FOR REALISTIC RESIDENTIAL DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND"
@UCNZ@UCEngineering
Short post to introduce #93 (formally, Dr 93) formally known as Francis. He's camera shy and prefers this format!
His thesis was on ultra-low-power (and also ultra-low-cost) insulin pumps.
With thanks to @UCNZ@UCEngineering@sftichallenge
20 years of ICU glycemic control and 23 years since the 1st clinical trials. The most recent trial starts later this year in Liege (Belgium).
The student leading the "now" trial (Marie) and, as met in Singapore flying here, the student who led the "then" trial in 2002 (Carmen)
Great day with congratulations to Matt, now known as #92, or Dr #92 if we are being formal, after his oral PhD exam today!
With recognition of all the usual suspects... @UCNZ@UCEngineering@MedtechNZ
To manage electricity demand you have to understand how people work and choose. Simple (relatively) agent-based models can do this ...

Dr Mariah McDonald, henceforth known as #90 for simplicity. 😀
An expert thesis defence today showing how we didn't really understand neonatal ventilation and lung mechanics... until now!!
With thanks to the usual suspects @UCEngineering , @UCNZ, @MedtechNZ and others!
Search for the Guilty: So, a thing happened (in the parlance of my youth), and it's really a recognition of the efforts of my many brilliant students.
Punishment of the innocent: @UCEngineering , @UCNZ, @GIGA_ULiege, @sftichallenge, @MedtechNZ and many others!
Our last award of the night is the @BNZ Researcher Entrepreneur Award, presented to Geoff Chase from @UCNZ! Alongide his high-tech innovations, it's Geoff's ability to inspire and empower others that stood out for the judges 🎉 #2024KiwiNetAwards
@aclwfc And some years are worse than others but still (well) within the distribution of likely numbers which may (will) occur!
PS: Which is not to say there should not be more effort to reduce numbers, or accept them as is.
@dr_wendym_RN Yeah, these things happen. I've left the country and the hemisphere, and even 1/2 way around the world they still count. Sigh..
If it is any consolation, or misery loves company, It's 5 days until 6#* here.. 😕
Bon anniversaire!
What if ... ??

Small question just out in Intensive Care Medicine @yourICM
With @tdesaive and local team here at @GIGA_ULiege and homebase at @UCNZ / @UCEngineering
Fact or Myth: Big data and machine learning outperform physics-based modeling?
Myth... https://t.co/XnUpQVFy1h
