New Member of NONMEM Development Team

Dear nmusers: It is my pleasure to introduce our newest member of the NONMEM development team, Yi Zhang. Yi has recently come from Critical Path Institute, and before that from Metrum Research Group. He has extensive experience in PK/PD modeling and modeling of disease progression, as well as contributing to the development of Torsten, the Bayesian analysis library for PK/PD pharmacometrics using Stan. Yi has a Ph.D. from Oregon State University (2013), and other advanced degrees in applied mathematics and engineering. Yi will be using his extensive ability in PK/PD, mathematics, statistics, and software development experience in Fortran and C to help further the development of NONMEM, and continue providing improvements to NONMEM's present algorithms, as well as add new algorithms to serve the PK/PD population analysis community. Yi has been present at previous PAGE and ACOP meetings, so some of you may already know him, and he will be at the ACOP 2025 meeting in Aurora Colorado. Please stop by the ICON booth to welcome him and say hello, and he will also be present at the pre-meeting NONMEM advanced workshop on Oct 17. Robert J.
