Dr Nathan Clisby

Biography

Nathan Clisby obtained his B.Sc. (with First Class Honours and University Medal) in physics from Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia, before completing a PhD in physics at Stony Brook University in New York, USA. He then moved to Melbourne, Australia to work as a post-doctoral research fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Mathematics and Statistics of Complex Systems (MASCOS), before taking up an ARC Future Fellowship position based at the University of Melbourne. In mid 2017 Dr Clisby moved to the Department of Mathematics at Swinburne University of Technology, initially as an ARC Future Fellow and currently as a Lecturer. His main field of research is statistical mechanics. In particular, he has made significant advances in the development of novel computational methods to study theoretical models such as hard spheres and self-avoiding walks. Dr Clisby's other research interests include physical combinatorics, climate change, polymer physics, and mathematical visualisation.
