Peter Daivis

Professor Peter Daivis is a faculty member at RMIT University's School of Science, specializing in polymer physics and molecular dynamics simulation. He holds the academic rank of Professor and is actively involved in both research and teaching. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, statistical mechanics of polymers and complex fluids, and molecular rheology. He supervises postgraduate students in projects related to polymer rheology, nanofluidics, and computational biophysics.

Professor Daivis teaches and coordinates courses in the BSc(Hons) and Dean’s Scholar(Hons) programs, emphasizing advanced research methodologies. His recent work explores hydrodynamic slip in nanochannels, electropumping mechanisms, and phase separation in polymers. He has published extensively on topics like molecular dynamics simulations of confined fluids and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

His academic contributions include developing simulation tools (e.g., TTCF4LAMMPS) and advancing understanding of fluid behavior at molecular scales. Collaborations focus on applications in nanotechnology and materials science. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
