Ben FreasierDr. Ben Freasier did his research training with K. Runnels at Louisiana State University where he got his PhD in statistical mechanics of lattice models of fluids and interfaces in 1973. He was hired to assist in the setting up of a research group instatistical mechanics at The Royal Military College Duntroon in Canberra which later became the ADFA campus of The University of New South Wales. His research was focused on integral equation theory and simulation of fluids and included early simulations of collisional energy transfer in liquids and novel microcanonical sampling methods. He also has been active in the programming of educational software and commercial computer games and as a general programming consultant. He is a passionate user and occasional lecturer and instructor in the use of the Python programming language. He has published more than 100 research articles. Read More Read Less
