Phil Hendry graduated with a Ph.D. in biomimetic inorganic chemistry from the Australian National University in 1986. This was followed by various research positions in chemistry and molecular biology before taking a post with CSIRO in Sydney where he worked on the kinetics, mechanism and evolution of catalytic RNAs. Phil is currently project leader of a group focussed on industrial microbiology. In this context, his group studied sulfur oxidising bacteria and hyperthermophilic archaea for sulphide leaching applications, isolated alkane and fatty-acid-oxidising soil bacteria, identified organisms from petroleum reservoirs and coal seams.
