- Description
Alan Moore was born in Melbourne in 1920 and educated at Scotch College and the University of Melbourne where he completed a science degree majoring in metallurgy and chemistry.
- Abstract
Alan Moore's life at CSIR/CSIRO involved him in many areas of research and other activities. He showed great enthusiasm in all of these ventures - an enthusiasm which was not dampened even when faced with the daunting task of acting over a number of years as the Divisional representative or representative contact person form the planning and construction off the proposed Material Science Laboratory complex at Clayton.
His valuable work on the Engineering Group and Welding Research Committees should be mentioned as well as his four years as Chairman of the Solid State Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Finally, his overwhelming interest in the wide application of computers drew him into the area of computer assistance to disabled persons and into the development of programs that might be useful for those handicapped people whose communication is limited to the manipulation of several keys or levers.
