Bio/Research
Dale Ward was born in Vancouver but was schooled in Edmonton where he obtained a B.Sc. (Honours) in chemistry from the University of Alberta. As a high school and undergraduate student, Dale received several academic awards and was set to start a career in the RCMP crime lab after graduation. However, when a national hiring freeze delayed the start of that post, he accepted an NRC Postgraduate Scholarship and began a Ph.D. program in organic chemistry under the supervision of W. A. Ayer. Forty months later, Dr. Ward obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta and moved to Harvard University as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow under the tutelage of Nobel laureate R. B. Woodward. After a term-appointment at the University of Alberta, Dale joined the University of Saskatchewan as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry in 1985. Tenure was awarded in 1989 followed by promotion to Full Professor in 1994. Currently he is the Graduate Chair in Chemistry and the Director of the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre.
