Dr Thamwattana received her BSc (Hons 1) in Mathematics at Mahidol University,
Thailand, in 2000. She undertook her PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of
Wollongong and graduated with a thesis titled, ‘Some Analytical Solutions for Problems
Involving Highly Frictional Granular Materials' in 2005. In 2007 Dr Thamwattana was
awarded an Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Australian Research Council to
develop mathematical models for applications of nanomaterials in biology and medicine. Dr
Thamwattana was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2011 

Field of Study: Electrorheological fluids, mechanics of nanostructures, mechanics of
granular materials, Calculus of variations for protein folding. Currently working in
nanomechanical areas to develop new mathematical models, which can be used for improving
and developing nanotechnology 

Current Research Students: - Hakim Al Garalleh - Fainida Rahmat - Nawa Alshammari
