Graeme Moad

He received a Bachelor of Science in 1974 and a Ph.D. in 1977, both from the University of Adelaide. He followed this with postdoctoral research at Pennsylvania State University.

Graeme Moad is an Australian polymer chemist.

In 1979 he joined the CSIRO in Melbourne; CSIRO is Australia's largest scientific research organisation. He has made substantial contributions to the theory of free radical polymerization, and he was co-author with David Solomon of the definitive reference book: The Chemistry of Radical Polymerization (Moad & Solomon, 2006). With fellow CSIRO polymer chemists Ezio Rizzardo and San Thang he is a co-developer of the RAFT process.

In 2012 he received the Battaerd-Jordan Polymer Medal,[1][2] and was also elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.[3]

In 2014, he shared the ATSE Clunies-Ross Award with San Thang and Ezio Rizzardo.[2]
