Welcomes/Farewells

Dr Peter Baxter completed his 4 year contract with CARM in December 2014 and accepted a position at QUT. We would like to thank Peter for his many contributions.  In particular, he supervised a number of PhD, Honours and Masters students, and helped develop MATH2070 (Natural Resource Mathematics), a second-year undergraduate course that received excellent student evaluations and was rated as “outstanding” by 100% of respondents. We wish Peter all the best.
