Professor David Parry
Professor of Chemistry, Faculty of Education, Health and Science
Professor David Parry was appointed a lecturer on the foundation staff of the University College of the Northern Territory in December 1986. Since that time he has been involved in the merger of the University College with the Darwin Institute of Technology to form the Northern Territory University, and the more recent mergers to form Charles Darwin University.
He has held numerous positions, including Associate Dean, Research and Postgraduate Studies, Chair of Research Degrees and Scholarships Committee, and Director, Postgraduate Research Studies. Professor Parry is currently Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chair of Academic Board. He lectures in environmental, analytical and inorganic chemistry at undergraduate level.
Professor Parry's research focuses on the chemical and biological aspects of inorganic pollutants in aquatic environments, including the interface between ecotoxicology and chemistry. Over the past seven years his research program has had a strong emphasis on the application of natural and constructed wetlands for remediation of contaminated waters from mine and industrial sites.
