I enjoyed studying mathematics in my BSc at the University of Queensland, and became hooked on applying mathematics to the real world. So after contacting a number of other departments at the University I decided to enrol for a PhD and apply my mathematical knowledge to the study of tomography in chemical engineering. My studies have provided many exciting experiences. I have presented talks at national conferences around Australia, collaborated with and visited researchers in England and Holland, where I stayed for 2 months. In the future I intend to use
my mathematical skills in industry. Lasse Roren In 1995 I was studying for a Masters degree in Norway and was encouraged to spend 6 months of my degree studying abroad. I did not need much encouragement and so I found myself with the High Performance Computing Unit in the Mathematics Department at the University of Queensland. Here I worked with Professor Kevin Burrage developing visualisation techniques for representing climate data in 3D. We were developing software which would give the user a "bird’s eye view" of the 3D terrain. I am now working in a small software company in Oxford, UK, developing software for capturing human motion. This software will be used by clinical laboratories to analyse the difficulties some people have when walking. Katie
Howard Hi, I have been
working as an analyst for Suncorp since 1996. I am part of a team
who monitor the performance of the 24 hour Call Centre. My days are
spent analysing costing, and by relating calls to sales I try to predict
and identify trends. While at Uni I studied for a science degree and
finished off with a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Maths. My mathematical
studies in operations research, data analysis and mathematical modelling
have equipped me well for my career and I find that my maths background
gives me an overall logical approach to all my projects. |
