Gordon George Wallace is a scientist in the field of electromaterials. His students and collaborators use of nanotechnology in conjunction with organic conductors for energy conversion and storage as well as medical bionics.[1] He has developed approaches to fabrication that allow material properties discovered in the nano world to be translated into micro structures and macro scopic devices.
He was awarded an Australian Research Council QEII Fellowship in 1991, an ARC Senior Research Fellowship in 1995, an ARC Professorial Fellowship in 2002 and a Federation Fellowship in 2006.[6] He was awarded a DSc from Deakin University in 2000.[citation needed]
Research years
Wallace asserted that this instability could, if understood, be directed and controlled, allowing the creation of "intelligent" polymers – materials that sense and respond to stimuli.[7]
In September 2008, Wallace's team moved to research facilities at the University of Wollongong's new Innovation Campus based at North Wollongong.[8]
He published the book Organic Bionics.[9] He has an h index of 110 and has amassed in excess of 60,000 citations.[10]
He was appointed to the Prime Ministers Knowledge Nation 100 in 2015. He received the Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science and Innovation in 2016.[15][16]
