Background
John is a Physical and Colloid Chemist with complementary training in metallurgy, whose research interests embrace various aspects of interfacial science and engineering. John is the founding Director of The Wark and a Professor of Physical Chemistry and Minerals Processing. He was the driving force behind the establishment of the Ian Wark Research Institute in 1994, and over the past three decades, he has actively supervised more than eighty PhD research students. These students have gone on to establish successful careers in universities, industry and other research institutions all around the world. He is the author of over 350 refereed journal articles and textbook chapters, plus numerous conference papers and industry reports, acts as referee for major international journals and is presently a Council Member of the International Association of Colloid and Interface Scientists (IACIS). Since 1984, John has been awarded over $200M in competitive grant funding from the Australian Research Council, the Department of Education, Science and Training and national and international private industry.

Throughout his career he has held invited Professorships in Cape Town, Lulea, Bristol, Utah and Florida and holds an Honorary Doctorate from the Abo Akademi in Finland, as well as Honorary Professorships in Materials Science and Engineering at Tianjin University in China and the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo.

John was the principal researcher who led the initiative to establish the Australian Mineral Science Research Institute (AMSRI) which commenced on 1 January 2006. AMSRI is a virtual institute in particle science and engineering, with its headquarters at The Wark and involves collaborative research at the Universities of Queensland, Melbourne and Newcastle. Major international companies are involved, through AMIRA International, along with overseas collaborators, in this long term strategic research.

Outside science, he has a strong interest in literature, world history, travelling and sport, especially skiing.

Australian Academy of Science Citation, May 2005
"John Ralston is an internationally recognised expert in colloid and surface chemistry and their application in metallurgical engineering and technology. His research is internationally recognised in the physical chemistry of mineral flotation processes, the surface chemistry of metal sulphides, and the static and dynamic wetting behaviour of simple and structured solid surfaces. In 1994 he established the Ian Wark Research Institute, which is now recognised worldwide for its fundamental research in interfaces, initially with a strong mineral focus. The Institute is an Australian national treasure that has now broadened its activities across many disciplines. Ralston excels in the application of his science to real world problems".
