Professor Gordon G. Wallace is the director of the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI), one of the University of Wollongong's designated research strengths. After taking up a lectureship at the University in 1986 Professor Wallace established the Intelligent Polymer Research Group in 1988, which became the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute in 1995. He is also involved in the ARC Centre of Excellence - Electromaterials Science which was set up in January 2006. Additional information regarding research and teaching interests is to be found here.
