Biography

Professor Hogarth is Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Faculty of Science and Information Technology at the University of Newcastle. He has been with the University since 2002. A mathematician by training, he has an undergraduate degree from the University of New South Wales, a PhD from the University of Newcastle and has published in excess of 100 journal articles.

A mathematical modeller who applies his skills and knowledge in soil physics, Professor Hogarth came to Newcastle from Griffith University, where he was Dean of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences.
