She was then awarded a post-doctoral fellowship, funded through the EPSRC UK at the Life Sciences Interface, to work within the Computational Biology Group at the University of Oxford. Currently she works in computational modelling of proton MRI techniques to measure lung function. |
Dr Sophia Rodrigues
Sophia is a lecturer in Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Auckland. Sophia's current research is in Food Physics and analyses how changes to food during chewing link to sensory perception. Sophia's research interests look to functional ingredients with a focus on healthier and sustainable foods, including the “weird and wacky” like cricket flour. |
Dr Michelle Dickinson
Michelle has spent her career engineering nanotechnology solutions for the tech industry. She is passionate about creating innovative ways for everyone to have a positive relationship with science and technology. As part of her push to increase confidence around science, engage more public interaction with the subject and promote diverse role models in science and engineering, she created the character Nanogirl – a science-savvy female who uses her engineering skills to solve her way out of challenges in life. |
Professor Susan Krumdieck
Susan is a Professor of Engineering at the University of Canterbury. She specialises in transition engineering, specifically the new methodologies and tools needed to change existing systems to rapidly shift away from fossil fuels. She has carried out research on renewable and alternative energy technology, and sustainable energy systems. She also has done some research into antimicrobial coatings, and discovered a new mass transport regime that uses pulsed pressure during her PhD at the University of Colorado. |
Dr Kim Rutter
Kim Rutter is Director of the University of Canterbury’s Master of Engineering Management Programme. She initially trained as a Civil and Structural Engineer, but currently lectures in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her areas of interest include Engineering Management, Engineering Economic Analysis, and Engineering Ethics. |
Dr Jesin James
Jesin is a lecturer in the department of electrical, computer and software engineering, and is currently working in the Healthcare Robot project at the University of Auckland. She is interested in speech signal processing, under-resourced languages, machine learning and engineering education, and is aiming to develop the speech of a robot to make it more empathetic and human. |
Dr Justine Hui
Justine is a research fellow in mechanical engineering at the University of Auckland. Previously she obtained her conjoint BE (Hons) in Computer Systems Engineering and BA (Hons) at the University of Auckland. This was followed by several years in industry as a software developer. She received her PhD at Sophia University, Japan, at the Speech Communication Lab under Prof. Takayuki Arai on the relationship between hearing deficits and speech perception. |
Dr Deborah Munro
Debbie is a Senior Lecturer in the University of Canterbury’s engineering department. She is the lead for the minor in biomedical engineering. Her research revolves around medical devices, biomechanics, and diagnostic sensors for improving people's lives. She worked in the orthopaedic implant industry, designing implants and instruments for hip and knee replacement surgeries. |
Dr Dulsha Kularatna-Abeywardana
Dulsha is a lecturer in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Auckland. She was born and raised in Sri Lanka until she moved to Auckland in 2002 to do her Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. She gained several years of industry experience prior to pursuing further studies and joining academia. She is passionate about her research in power electronics focusing on supercapacitor applications, electropermanent magnet based applications, green energy technologies and STEAM education. She is also the secretary for the IEEE Women in Engineering NZ north section and works actively to promote women in engineering and STEAM education for young children. |
Dr Andrea Kolb
Andrea is a Professional Teaching Fellow at the University of Auckland, with a degree in Applied Chemistry from Germany, and a PhD in Chemistry from Victoria University in Wellington. She is a passionate sustainability advocate who wants to be part of the change, actively contributing towards meaningful climate action. In June 2019, Andrea returned to New Zealand to share her passion for science and engineering with the next generation of Chemical & Materials Engineers at The University of Auckland. |
