| Neil graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Applied Chemistry) from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1978. The previous year, he joined the laboratories of Carlton and United Breweries to work in analytical and process chemistry. In late January 1981 he departed Australia to begin a PhD with Professor Gordon Kirkbright in the newly established Department of Instrumentation and Analytical Science at the University of Manchester; graduating in December 1986. He was appointed lecturer in inorganic/analytical chemistry at Plymouth Polytechnic in September 1985, and within three years he was a senior research scientist at ICI Chemicals and Polymers, Runcorn UK. However, by 1991, the overwhelming appeal of academe lured him to Deakin University as a senior lecturer. Currently, he is privileged to be a member of one of Australia’s leading analytical chemistry research groups. In 2004 he was appointed to a personal chair and the following year was awarded a DSc from Deakin University for his contributions to analytical chemistry. Neil is a fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. He has co-authored more than one hundred and sixty papers, is one of the eleven editors of Analytica Chimica Acta and has served on the ARC Future Fellowships Panel and the ERA 2012 Research Evaluation Committee.
