Rob Brander is a coastal scientist and professor at the University of New South Wales Sydney who specializes in rip currents and beach safety. He has been giving talks on the “Science of the Surf” to the community and thousands of schoolchildren since 2001 and gained the nickname “Dr. Rip” for his habit of jumping into rip currents and releasing harmless purple dye. He is a past recipient of an Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Australian Science Research and was appointed Member of the Order of Australia in 2023 for his service to coastal science and the Australian community through beach safety research and education.
