Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics

Billy D. Todd undertook his bachelor and doctoral studies in physics at the University of Western Australia and Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. He then completed postdoctoral appointments at the University of Cambridge and the Australian National University, before moving to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Melbourne in 1996. In 1999 he took up an academic appointment at Swinburne University of Technology, Victoria where he is currently Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics. His research focus is on statistical mechanics, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics and computational nanofluidics. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics and a former President of the Australian Society of Rheology. Peter J. Daivis holds Bachelor and Masters degrees in Applied Physics from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), a Graduate Diploma in Applied Colloid Science from Swinburne University of Technology, and a Ph.D. from Massey University, New Zealand. After completing his Ph.D. he worked on computational and theoretical investigations of transport processes at the Australian National University. He joined RMIT in 1995 as a lecturer and has held the position of Professor since 2011. His research interests include applications of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and computational physics to nonequilibrium phenomena. He is a member of the Australian Institute of Physics, the Institute of Physics UK and is currently President of the Australian Society of Rheology.
