This webinar of the VPHi Keynote Webinar Series took place on 12 June 2019 at 18 CET featuringĀ Prof Merryn TawhaiĀ fromĀ Auckland Bioengineering Institute.Ā The webinar, organised with the collaboration of Prof Jerome Noailly, was broadcasted live during theĀ 4rd VPH Summer School in Barcelona.
Merryn Tawhai graduated from the University of Auckland with a PhD in Engineering Science in 2001. At the Auckland Bioengineering Institute Merryn has established a research programme in applied computational physiology of the lung. She was the inaugural Maurice Paykel Postdoctoral Fellow and has been a recipient of RSNZ Marsden, National Institutes of Health,Ā Health Research Council of New Zealand, and MBIE grants.
Her research is focused on the development of integrative computational models of the pulmonary system and their application in understanding structure-function interactions in normal physiology and in the pathophysiology of pulmonary disease. She has particular interest in the application of computational modelling to improving clinical diagnosis and monitoring of pulmonary disease, particularly in the older lung.
