Dr Michael O’Sullivan, Research Leader at Precision Driven Health, and Senior Lecturer of Engineering Science at the University of Auckland. After completing a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and a Masters in Operations Research (OR) at the University of Auckland, Mike spent time at Stanford University in the US where he obtained a MS in Engineering-Economic Systems and OR, and a PhD in Management Science and Engineering. Upon his return to New Zealand, Mike joined the Department of Engineering Science where he co-founded the research group Operations Research Union Analytics (ORUA) which combines OR and analytics to develop intelligent systems. ORUA works on research projects from multiple industries including Healthcare, Cloud Computing, Infrastructure Planning, Construction and Government Policy. Mike is very motivated to see research used in practice and has co-founded two companies: Amino that is developing next-generation computing infrastructure; and ORUA (China) that provides BigData analysis for precision driven healthcare in China.
