<big>'''David Phillpotts'''</big>

PC used: ''Sigurd'' (later ''Ymir'' and ''Agnar'') and importantly the famed portable PC ''Tiger''.

Rig worked on: Re-built The Temperature Rig

Masters Work: Fault Detection and Diagnosis using Kernel Based Techniques applied to a Pilot Distillation Column. Completed in May 2007. He now works in the Measurement and Control division of Mintek in Randburg as an extreme control engineer.

<big>'''Stephen Fourie'''</big>

Masters Title: Advanced Process Monitoring using Wavelets and Non-Linear Principal Component Analysis.

Finished in April 2000. Now working for SASOL - SASTech.

<big>'''Carl Sandrock'''</big>

Still at the department, Carl started his studies in the Process Control Laboratories and was jointly responsible (with Lourens du Plessis) for the current Opto-22 based control system in the lab. A significant fraction of the wiring and the Opto box was done by this dynamic duo. Carl and Lourens are also responsible for the convention of using Norse mythology for the computer names in the labs.
