Glen Deacon graduated, BSc(Hons) (HI) and PhD from the University of Adelaide (CSIRO and AAEC Scholarships, an ICIANZ Fellowship, and the Senior Tutorship at Lincoln College). Postdoctoral research work was carried out with Professor Sir Ronald Nyholm FRS at University College London (CSIRO Overseas Scholarship, ICI Fellowship) with additional collaboration with Professor Alwyn Davies FRS (UCL) and Dr John Green (NPL Teddington).
He was appointed to a lectureship at Monash in 1966, and received accelerated promotion to Senior Lecturer (1971) and Reader (1975). For his research work on Main Group Element Chemistry he was awarded the DSc degree of the University of Adelaide in 1972. He became a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute in 1975. In 1994 he was appointed to a Personal Chair in Chemistry and is currently Professor of Chemistry.
Glen Deacon has achieved international recognition in several areas of Inorganic and Inorganic Materials Chemistry, particularly the Chemistry of Main Group Elements, Rare Earths, Precious Metals (including platinum anti-cancer compounds), and New Materials (semi-conductor dopants and precursors). He has received extensive research funding both alone and in research teams, e.g. from ARC (more than 50 grants, totalling over $2,250,000), ACCV, and GIRD, and is involved in extensive National and International (e.g. Germany, UK, Canada, PR China, Malaysia) research collaboration. He has supervised or jointly supervised 24 postdoctoral workers, 16 research assistants, and 40 PhD, 4 MSc, 6 MEnvSci and 70 BSc(Hons) (38 HI) graduates. Over 400 papers have been published in refereed journals and several book chapters have been published. Considerable consulting/contract research has been carried out for industry and government agencies, and a patent is in commercial use.
