Biography

Philip A. Gale is Deputy Dean of Science and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Technology Sydney. Phil received his BA (Hons) in 1992 and his MA and DPhil in 1995 in Chemistry from the University of Oxford. He then took up a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Texas at Austin. He returned to Oxford in 1997 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and moved the fellowship in 1999 to the University of Southampton where he also held a Lectureship. Phil was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2002, Reader in 2005 and to a Personal Chair in Supramolecular Chemistry in 2007. From 2010 to 2016 Phil served as Head of Chemistry at Southampton and Chair of the UK EPSRC National Crystallography Service.

In January 2017 he moved to the University of Sydney to take up the position of Professor of Chemistry and Head of the School of Chemistry and in 2020 Phil took on the role of Associate Dean (International). In April 2022, Phil became interim Dean of Science serving until January 2023. In February 2023 Phil moved to the University of Technology Sydney as Deputy Dean of Science.

Phil is a supramolecular chemist with particular interests in the molecular recognition, sensing and transmembrane transport of anions. His work in this area is highly cited with an h-index of 87 (Web of Science) and over 30000 citations. He has won a number of awards including the Royal Society of Chemistry Corday Morgan medal and prize (2005), a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2013), the RSC Supramolecular Chemistry Award (2014) and the 2018 Izatt Christensen Award in Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry. He received a DSc from the University of Oxford in 2014.

Phil is the editor-in-chief of Coordination Chemistry Reviews and serves on the advisory boards of Chem, Chemical Science, Chemical Society Reviews and Trends in Chemistry. He was a member of the EPSRC College during his time in UK and served on the ANR Laboratories of Excellence Jury (France) 2011-2018 and the European Research Council Consolidator Grant Panel 2013-2019.

Phil is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Chartered Chemist (UK), a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and Chartered Chemist (Aus), a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales.
