My appointment to the Monash e-Research Centre

Professor Edwina Cornish, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research), Monash University has formally announced my appointment as Professor and Director of the Monash e-Research Centre.

I will be moving to Melbourne with my family at the end of the year to take up the position January 2008.

I wish to thank all my colleagues in the Department of Mathematics and the University of Auckland for their support and friendship over the past 15 years. I have felt very supported in my activities (particularly with new initiatives in the IT area) at Auckland, and it was a very difficult decision for me to move on. I am hopeful that this move is an opportunity for new collaborations, particularly in eResearch, between Auckland, New Zealand (through BeSTGRID) and Monash.
