Professor Julian Gale obtained his first degree from the University of Oxford in Natural Sciences (Chemistry), where he continued to study for a DPhil in the Department of Chemical Crystallography. After a postdoctoral position at the Royal Institution of Great Britain he moved to Imperial College London as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and subsequently Reader in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. In 2003, he moved to his current location, Curtin University, as a Premier’s Research Fellow and now holds the position of John Curtin Distinguished Professor of Computational Chemistry. In 2018 he was awarded an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellowship and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. Research interests include the development and application of computational techniques to problems in areas including materials chemistry, crystallisation, geochemistry and mineralogy.
