Frank Eastwood was Reader in Chemistry at Monash University and retired in 1995. Born in 1930, he went to North Sydney Boys High School and enrolled at Sydney University in 1948 and completed his B.Sc. (Hons) in 1952 and M.Sc. in 1954. He worked with Sir Robert Robinson in Oxford for his D.Phil. and in 1956 moved to Cambridge to work with Sir Alexander Todd on antibiotics. He was appointed to Monash University in 1960 and helped initiate teaching in 1961. He collaborated with Roger Brown on pyrolysis from 1972 until 1995.
