Graeme Moad
Graeme Moad (born June 25, 1952 in Orange (New South Wales) ) is an Australian chemist ( macromolecular chemistry , organic chemistry ).
Moad graduated from the University of Adelaide with a bachelor's degree in 1974 and received his PhD in 1977 under Athelstan Beckwith on organic free radical chemistry. As a post-doctoral student he was at the Pennsylvania State University with Steven J. Benkovic and from 1979 researched for the Australian research organization SCIRO, of which he has been a Fellow since 2015 and where he was Principal Research Scientist from 1988 and Chief Research Scientist from 1999 to 2015. He is an Adjunct Professor at Monash University and the University of New England . In 2016 he was visiting scholar at the University of Warwick .
He deals with polymerization mechanisms and the development of new polymers and polymer syntheses. He is one of the developers of the RAFT polymerization ( Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer ) with Ezio Rizzardo and San Thang (1996) at CSIRO.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (1992) and the Australian Academy of Science (2012). He is an associate member of the IUPAC Polymer Division. In 2003 he received the CSIRO Medal and in 2015 the Newton-Turner Award of the CSIRO, in 2012 the Battaerd-Jordan Polymer Medal of the RACI Polymer Division and was a 2014 Thomson Reuters Citation Laureate . In 2014 he received the Clunies-Ross Award from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. He is an honorary professor at the Beijing Chemical Engineering University .
He holds 34 patents and published around 180 articles (2016).
