DEUTSCH: Peter Kennedy, geboren 1955 in Australien hat Mathematik studiert und in Maschinenbau promoviert. Er arbeitete mehr als 22 Jahre für Moldflow, den ersten kommerziellen Anbieter von Simulations-Software für Spritzgießverfahren. Rong Zheng, geboren 1947 in China hat 1991 in Computational Rheology an der University of Sydney promoviert. Von 1993 bis 2009 arbeitete er für Moldflow Pty. Ltd. (jetzt Autodesk) u.a. an der Simulation von Spritzgußverfahren ENGLISH:Peter Kennedy was born in Melbourne, Australia, on the 22nd of November 1955. He studied Mathematics and Education at Melbourne and La Trobe Universities and has a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Eindhoven. After teaching high school mathematics Peter joined Moldflow, the first commercial company to provide simulation software for injection molding. During a total time of 22 years at Moldflow he worked in various positions related to molding simulation and the development of the company's key technologies through internally directed research programs and cooperative projects with academic and industrial research organizations. Rong Zheng is an Australian citizen and was born in Xiamen, China, in 1947. He obtained a BSc in Mechanical Engineering in 1982 and a Master degree in Polymer Processing in 1985 at South China University of Technology and a PhD in Computational Rheology in 1991 at The University of Sydney, where he continued as a Post-doctoral Fellow from 1991-1993. From 1993 to 2009, he was working in Moldflow Pty. Ltd. (now Autodesk) on research and development of science-based technology for modeling and simulation of injection molding, and was involved as a Chief/Partner Investigator in several collaborative research projects between Moldflow and Universities. He is currently an Adjunct Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sydney.
