Education

Wainwright obtained BAppSc degrees in Applied Chemistry and in Applied Science from the University of Adelaide/South Australia Institute of Technology in 1966 and 1967, respectively. His postgraduate degrees include MAppSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Adelaide in 1969, [5] PhD in Chemical Engineering from McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) in 1974, [6] and a DSc by research from the University of South Australia in 2003. [7]

Career

Wainwright began a teaching career as a tutor demonstrator while being a part-time graduate student at SAIT (1967–1969), [8] and McMaster University. [9] Once a doctor in 1974, he became a faculty member at the University of New South Wales, where he remained continuously until his retirement from the institution in 2006. His career at UNSW included successive positions as lecturer in industrial chemistry at the School of Chemical Technology (1977–1980), associate professor (1981–1988), professor/departmental head of chemical engineering (1989–1991), dean of the faculty of engineering (1991–2000), pro-vice-chancellor (1998–2000), deputy vice chancellor, vice chancellor, and president (2004–2006).

His research fields have included studies on applied catalysis, reaction engineering, mineral processing, adsorption processes in pollution abatement and gas and liquid chromatography. [7] His research papers are often cited by reference books on organic reaction catalysis, [10] solid catalysts, [11] and heterogeneous catalysis. [12]

As an institutional leader, he chaired of the National Computational Infrastructure Advisory Board from 2007 to 2015. [13]
