Talk Title: The use of bond graphs in multiscale physiological modelling
Prof Peter Hunter is a Distinguished Professor at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, University of Auckland, New Zealand. His research interests are in modelling human physiology using anatomical and biophysically-based multiscale approaches that link molecular processes to tissue level phenotypes. He has helped to lead the international Physiome Project and, more recently, a new virtual human twin project at the ABI. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society (London and NZ), a recent Executive Chair of the World Council of Biomechanics and a recent Vice-President of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS). He is the academic lead for a project to create a new medical technologies precinct in Auckland (called the Medtech Innovation Quarter or Medtech-iQ). He was awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday honours list in 2024.
