Dr Nick Beaton
Research Fellow
The University of Melbourne
My research interests are in combinatorics, and more specifically in enumerative combinatorics. These problems are often connected with other fields, so I'm also interested in statistical mechanics, complex analysis, and algorithms for counting and simulating discrete structures.
Research Interests:
Enumerative combinatorics
Polymer models
Stochastic Processes
Qualifications:
BSc (Hons) - University of Queensland
PhD - University of Melbourne
