Professor Scott Wade joined Swinburne University of Technology in 2009. He graduated in 1994 from Victoria University of Technology with a BSc (Hons.) in applied physics and was awarded a PhD from Victoria University of Technology in 2001 for research on optical fibre based temperature sensors. Prior to joining Swinburne University he held research positions at a number of universities in the UK and Australia where he worked on applied research including the development of sensing techniques and corrosion studies. He is leading a research team investigating various aspects of corrosion, including microbiologically influenced corrosion, accelerated low water corrosion, corrosion sensing and novel coating development. His research has involved collaboration with leading industrial, government and academic institutions, and has been widely published. Further details of his current research themes are provided below. The research is associated with the BioEngineering Research Group at Swinburne.

Prof. Wade started working on corrosion research in 2003. He is a long term member of the Australasian Corrosion Association, including a Past President of the Victorian branch, Federal ACA Council member and annual conference technical chair. He has been a member of NACE/AMPP (Association for Materials Protection and Performance) since 2009 and is a Council member for the International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation Society. Scott is also an editorial board member of the Biofilms and Corrosion and Materials Degradation journals.
