Biography

Paul Fraser is a Lecturer at UNSW Canberra, where he specializes in teaching theoretical physics and applied mathematics. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics and physics from the University of Melbourne. Throughout his career, Paul has taught at four Australian universities and has completed postdoctoral fellowships at prestigious institutions including UNAM in Mexico, INFN in Padova, Italy, and Curtin University in Western Australia. He has a deep commitment to developing students' mathematical skills and conceptual understanding of physics, catering to diverse backgrounds, including high school, undergraduate, mature-age, international, and indigenous students. His research focuses on low-energy scattering processes of light nuclei, with particular emphasis on reactions of astrophysical interest. This work involves innovative approaches to solving coupled-channel Lippmann-Schwinger equations with realistic nuclear input potentials and considers the Pauli principle and nuclear excitations. Additionally, he is involved in projects examining the impact of home jurisdiction and the implementation of the Australian National Curriculum on the physics and mathematics educational outcomes of Australian high school students.
