    For over four decades, Gus was the heart and soul of the pre-eminent chemical engineering school in Australia. The 'go to' person for students, colleagues, and industry alike, Gus' personal dedication to chemical engineering education remains unmatched.

    Well ahead of his time, Gus acknowledged the importance of a well-rounded education - one which included international education, vacation work opportunities, and industry networking.

    Gus passed away in late 2014 and while he will be sadly missed by all who knew him, Gus' legacy and dedication to students will forevermore continue at UQ's School of Chemical Engineering - through the R.J. 'Gus' Wiles Scholarship Endowment Fund.
