Andrew John Pullan (1963 – 7 March 2012) was a New Zealand mathematician specialising in bio-electrical modelling.

Academic career

After attending Aorere College in Mangere, Pullan received a scholarship to the University of Auckland where he studied mathematics before moving to the engineering school to work on biomedical engineering finite-element models of the heart and models of electrical activity in the gastrointestinal tract. He was appointed Head of Department from 2008 to 2010. He died in March 2012 of metastatic melanoma.[1]

Selected works

  • New advances in gastrointestinal motility research
  • Mathematically modelling the electrical activity of the heart : from cell to body surface and back again
