Academic career
After a MSc[1] and PhD[2] at the University of Sydney in Australia, he did a Postdoc at Purdue University and a brief period at University of Queensland, he joined Victoria University of Wellington in the early 1970s and remained there until his official retirement in 2009.[3] His specialism was coordination chemistry and spectroscopy, but he had a popular sideline in science shows.[3]
In 2011 he was given a Meritorious Service Award by the Tertiary Education Union.[4]

gollark: I really love the interaction of at least three problems here.
gollark: Why is the framing format so convoluted?
gollark: How does *any* of this *ever* work?
gollark: I have unfortunately had to interact with email for my email to RSS bridge.
gollark: Make sure to do all your checks at least 3 times so there's redundancy in case one is removed by compiler optimisations.
