His research interest lies in polymer synthesis and the development of polymer nanocomposites. From 2007 to 2015 Moad was a Chief Research Scientist in the CSIRO Division of Materiasl Science and Engineering.

From his CSIRO webpage May 2023:
"Graeme Moad obtained his BSc (Hons, First Class, 1974) and PhD (1978) from the University of Adelaide in organic free radical chemistry. Between 1977 and 1979, he undertook post-doctoral research at Pennsylvania State University with Prof Steven J. Benkovic in the field of biological organic chemistry. He joined CSIRO in 1979 where he is currently a CSIRO fellow. Dr Moad is (co)author of over 200 publications, co-inventor on 38 patent families and co-author of the book "The Chemistry of Radical Polymerization" (3rd edition in preparation). His research interests lie in the fields of polymerization mechanisms, and polymer design and synthesis. In recognition of his work Dr Moad was awarded a CSIRO medal in 2003, the RACI's Battaerd-Jordan Polymer Medal in 2012, a Clunies Ross Award and a Thomson-Reuters' (Clarivate Analytics) Citation Laureate in 2014, a Warwick University IAS Fellowship, a CSIRO Newton-Turner award and Thomson-Reuters' Highly Cited List in 2015, the Australian Academy of Science's David Craig Medal for outstanding achievement in the field of Chemistry in 2020, the IUPAC Polymer Division's Stepto Lecture Award in 2022, and an American Chemical Society POLY Fellow in 2023. Dr Moad is currently also an adjunct professor at Monash University (2012-2025), and an honorary professor of the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (2015). Dr Moad is a member of the IUPAC Polymer Division (titular member (2012-2016), associate member (2016-2021). He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (1992), the Australian Academy of Science (elected 2012) and the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (elected 2021) and is a Companion of the Order of Australia (2022). In 2023 Dr Moad was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society."
