Abstract

Professor Duncan Dowson had a major influence on my life, both personal and professional. He supervised my PhD, collaborated with me on setting up the Leeds–Waterloo Student Exchange Program and co-authored academic papers with me. During my PhD studies, he even, indirectly, found me a wife (Judith Dowling) who came from his research group. Duncan always took an interest in my career, my ideas and my life. He was my friend. I have tried, in this short rendition of stories and anecdotes, to convey the essence of my personal interactions with Duncan.

Personal stories and anecdotes on my visiting stay at University of Leeds and subsequent intercommunication on biotribology are briefly described. During this stay at the University of Leeds, some experiences are described including both a simulator testing and a retrieval study of knee prostheses. My subsequent interactions with Professor Dowson included mutual visits and discussions at Leeds–Lyon Symposiums.

我与已故邓肯·道森教授的个人故事和轶事
邓肯·道森教授对我的生活产生了重大影响,无论是个人生活还是职业生涯。他指导了我的博士学位,与我合作建立了利兹-滑铁卢学生交换项目,并与我共同撰写了学术论文。在我攻读博士学位期间,他甚至间接地为我找到了一个来自他的研究小组的妻子(朱迪思·道林(Judith Dowling))。邓肯总是对我的事业、我的想法和我的生活感兴趣。他是我的朋友。在这篇简短的故事和轶事中,我试图传达我与邓肯个人互动的本质。
