Biography of A/Prof Katherine Seaton
Katherine Seaton completed her Ph.D at the University of Melbourne, in 1990, in the area of exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics. She was a post-doctoral fellow at the Instituut voor Theoretische Fysica, Universiteit van Amsterdam for two years from October 1990, and then a post-doc at the University of Melbourne until May 1993.
Since June 1993, she has been a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at La Trobe University, and an Associate Professor since December 2011.
Her principal research interest continues to be solvable models, but since 1997 she has collaborated with Dr Jean Armstrong, (Department of Electronic Engineering) on problems in communications engineering.
In 2002, Katherine supervised an honours project in the area of small-world networks, which she is developing as a further research interest.
