Early research was on the mathematics of liquid junctions and ionic interactions in electrolytes. Between 1954 and 1963 he taught at Trinity College, Dublin, the School of Chemistry, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the Lanchester College of Technology, Coventry. In 1965 he migrated to Australia, taking up a position of Reader in Mathematics at the University of Queensland. He retired in 1994 after 27 years as Professor of Mathematics at the University. In 1975 he began an extremely productive collaboration, which extended for 45 years, on aspects of drug elimination by the liver with Danish physiologists N. Tygstrup, K. Winkler, and S. Keiding. This resulted in a large number of influential publications. Bass 's contributions included the "distributed model" of hepatic elimination, and in 1987 a new nonlinear mechanism for pattern formation in the liver. Most recently, he returned to earlier research on modelling of ionic interactions, producing a series of papers with colleagues. 1954 1954 Education - PhD, Universität Wien, Austria 1954 1961?
