Summary

Natalie Thamwattana is a applied mathematician who has made pioneering contributions in the field of nanotechnology. Her interests include mathematical modelling, the interaction between atomic and molecular structures to provide solutions to industrial problems, and electrorheological nanofluids and other materials to deliver drugs. Since 2018 she has been Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Newcastle. The Nanomechanics Group, which she co-founded in 2007 at the University of Wollongong, has produced the book Modelling and mechanics of carbon-based nanostructured materials (2017). Thamwattana has been Chief Investigator for several Australian Research Council Discovery and Linkage Projects.
