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]
