Dr Wheeler completed honours in pure mathematics at the University of Wollongong in
2006. He subsequently obtained an Australian Postgraduate Award to support his PhD
studies in higher order geometric heat flows. The following year he obtained a DAAD
scholarship enabling him to collaborate with leading experts in his research area in
Germany and after a successful trip, was twice invited back to Germany, fully funded,
where he presented his work at specialist conferences and workshops. In particular, it
was an extremely rare honour for Dr Wheeler as a PhD student to present at the specialist
workshop "Ricci flow and the Poincaré Conjecture" at the Mathematisches
Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, Germany. The University of Wollongong welcomed Dr Wheeler
in a post doctoral role in 2012
