Obituary

Emeritus Professor Hans Freeman passed away on the morning of November 9, 2008 after a short illness. Hans was a member of the academic staff of the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney from 1950, completing his PhD in 1957, and was Professor of Inorganic Chemistry from 1971 until his retirement in 1997. He was a pioneer in structural biology, and in the application of synchrotron and neutron beam science to chemical and biochemical problems. Hans remained active in research well after his retirement, and retained a keen interest in the School of Chemistry, especially through the Chemistry 1 Special Studies laboratory program and the Foundation for Inorganic Chemistry which he established, with Alex Boden, shortly after his appointment as Professor. Hans received the Burrows and Leighton Medals and Distinguished Fellowship award from the RACI.
