Quantum physicist Christine Muschik and vision scientist were each named a 2022 University Research Chair at the last University Senate meeting.
Professor Ben Thompson is part of an inter-disciplinary research team that won New Zealand’s 2021 Te Pūiaki Putaiao Matua a Te Pirimia Science Prize, for changing international neonatal hypoglycemia practice. The prize is New Zealand's top award for scientific discoveries that have had a significant economic, health, social and/or environmental impact around the world.
Researchers from vastly different disciplines — quantum physics and vision science — collaborate on new device that may one day prevent vision loss.
Low blood sugar in infancy is serious, but treatment can ward off long-term brain damage in infants, a new study has found.
The study from the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and the University of Auckland is the first research of its kind to declare stabilizing blood sugar levels in newborns with hypoglycemia prevents brain damage.
