Robert McEachran

Robert McEachran is an Adjunct Professor at the Australian National University, affiliated with the Department of Nuclear Physics & Accelerator Applications and the Positron Research Group. His work focuses on atomic and particle physics, particularly electron and positron scattering cross-sections, transport properties, and interactions with noble gases and metals.

His research spans quantum mechanical modeling of scattering phenomena, positronium formation in fluids, and relativistic approaches to photon scattering. Recent publications analyze elastic and inelastic collisions with neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and metals like cadmium, mercury, and indium, with applications in plasma physics and materials science.

Collaborations include experimental and theoretical studies with Joshua Machacek, Stephen Buckman, and Andris Stauffer, combining computational methods with empirical validation. While no specific scientific awards are documented here, his extensive publication record demonstrates sustained contributions to atomic collision physics and plasma modeling.
