Amanda Barnard

Dr Amanda S. Barnard is a theoretical physicist working in predicting the real world behavior of nanoparticles using analytical models and supercomputer simulations. Barnard is a pioneer in the thermodynamic cartography of nanomaterials, creating nanoscale phase diagrams relevant to different environmental conditions, and relating these to structure/property maps. Her current research involves developing and applying statistical methods in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and nanoinformatics. In 2015 she became the first person in the southern hemisphere to win the Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology, which she won for her work on diamond nanoparticles.[1]

Dr Barnard is currently based in Australia as Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) Science Leader at CSIRO, and heads CSIRO's Virtual Nanoscience Laboratory.
