Curt Wentrup graduated Cand. scient. under K. A. Jensen, University of Copenhagen and PhD at the Australian National University with W. D. Crow, undertook post-doctorates with Hans Dahn (Univeristé de Lausanne), W. M. Jones (Gainesville) and Maitland Jones, Jr (Princeton), became Maître-Assistant and Privat-Docent at Lausanne and Professor at Universität Marburg before returning to The University of Queensland as Chair of Organic Chemistry in 1985. He received a DSc from Copenhagen, a Dr. h.c. from Pau, France, a Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science, and the Australian Centenary, Craig, Birch, and Leighton Medals. As emeritus professor he continues research in organic, physical, and historical chemistry.
