Biography
Duane Zilm is the proud Alumnus of three Universities. Duane's Bachelors degree was in Electrical Engineering (Power) in 1970 from the University of British Columbia (1st Class). Obtaining the Athlone Fellowship from Great Britain, Duane enrolled in the University of London and studied Biomedical Engineering in the Engineering in Medicine Laboratory at the Imperial College of Science and Technology. Duane received his M.Phil. in 1972 from the University of London for the thesis, "Computer Analysis of the Dynamics of Blood Pressure Control". In 1972, as well, Duane received a Diploma of Imperial College (D.I.C.) for his research in preparation of the completion of his master's degree. Duane then traveled back to Canada in 1972 to begin studies for his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto. Duane received his Ph.D. (summa cum laude) in 1976 for his research, course work and thesis "The Measurement, Etiology and Treatment of Alcohol Withdrawal Tremor". Along with being a profound pioneer in the engineering department Duane Zilm is a dynamic and successful engineer committed to the highest quality of work with an emphasis on safety, environmental and structural concerns. Although retired now, Duane’s career allowed him to motivate others and aspire to accept design challenges and exceed client expectations. Duane considers himself to be "Out-of-the-box" thinker with natural leadership abilities. Duane is also a registered member of the Society of Professional Engineers of Ontario (ret.).
