BIO

Professor of BioNanotechnology

Prof. Walsh's research interests and expertise focus on molecular modelling,
chiefly of interfaces, using molecular dynamics simulations and first-
principles calculations.

After graduating with a B.Sci(Hons) from the University of Melbourne, Prof.
Walsh earned her PhD degree in theoretical chemistry from the University of
Cambridge, U.K., working in the group of Prof. David Wales (FRS) in the Dept.
of Chemistry, as a Cambridge Commonwealth Trust scholar. She then joined the
Dept. of Materials, University of Oxford, U.K. as a postdoctoral researcher in
the Materials Modelling Laboratory (MML) with Prof. Adrian Sutton (FRS).
Staying in the MML, she held a Glasstone Fellowship, in addition to a Junior
Research Fellowship at Linacre College, University of Oxford. Following this,
she joined the faculty of the University of Warwick, U.K., as a joint
appointment in the Dept. of Chemistry and the Centre for Scientific Computing.
In 2012 she returned to Australia on a veski Innovation Fellowship and joined
the Institute for Frontier Materials at Deakin University in Australia, where
she currently holds the position of Professor of Bio/Nanotechnology.

Prof. Walsh served on the Australian Research Council (ARC) College of Experts
from 2015-2017, and currently serves on the ARC Medical Research Advisory
Group.
