50 Years of Chemistry – 50 Years of Innovation

The Department of Chemistry recently hosted a cocktail event to mark five decades of Chemistry at WAIT and Curtin. Alumni and staff from across the years took the chance to explore the School’s new facilities, as well as catching up with friends and colleagues.

Adjunct Associate Professor Steve Errington (previous Head of Chemistry and the Department’s acknowledged history expert), Peter McCafferty (ChemCentre CEO and WAIT alumnus) and Melissa Loan (BASF Australia and Curtin alumna) gave presentations that highlighted how Chemistry at Curtin has evolved over time.
