Antoinette Tordesillas
Antoinette A. Tordesillas is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of Melbourne, Australia. She heads the Micromechanics of Granular Media Group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Melbourne.[1]
Education and career[]
Tordesillas attended the University of Adelaide where she majored in applied mathematics and physical and inorganic chemistry, and earned a B.S. in 1986. Her honours thesis in applied mathematics involved the development of a model of the hot-dip galvanising process for creating sheet metal.[2] She earned her Ph.D. in solid mechanics in 1992 from the University of Wollongong, with a dissertation involving the contact mechanics of roller coating, supervised by James Murray Hill.[2][3][4] After temporary positions at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Kansas State University, she joined the Melbourne department of mathematics and statistics in 1996. She took on a joint position in geomechanics there in 2013, and was promoted to full professor in 2016.[2]
Awards[]
Tordesillas was awarded the J H Michell Medal in 2000 by the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society. This is an annual award for an outstanding new researcher in applied mathematics.[5]
