Weiwei Luo: PhD     I am pleased to report that Weiwei Luo has been recommended for the
award of her PhD in Mathematics subject to (quite a few) emendations
being made, at her oral exam today. Her thesis was entitled:

                         "Numerical determination of critical conditions
for thermal ignition".

Weiwei graduated from IIMS with a first class honours in Mathematics and
Computer Science in 2000.

As you may know she completed this work while mostly in the US, in
Huntsville Alabama (her husband Ron works for NASA) and was
co-supervised by Professor Clark Hawk of UAH.  Weiwei returned here six
weeks ago to prepare for the oral today.  Sadly Professor Hawk passed
away last month (since she has been here) and did not live to see the
successful outcome.  Weiwei and I will include him as a co-author of the
paper we're currently writing on tis topic for the ANZIAM Journal.
