Dr. Conrad Douglas is a chemist with a notable, international career in the bauxite industry and one of the first scientists to establish an environmental consultancy. He is the Executive Chairman of Conrad Douglas and Associates Ltd. and Environmental Science and Technology Ltd. Dr. Douglas was born in Duncans, Trelawny but his family later relocated to Kingston, where he attended Vauxhall School and then Excelsior High School. He earned his B.Sc. in Chemistry and Applied Chemistry from The UWI in 1971 and then during an internship at Alpart Jamaica he made a number of very useful findings. This led to him receiving financial support from Alcan Jamaica to further his studies in the chemistry of bauxite and alumina production. He eventually earned a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of the West Indies, becoming the only individual worldwide at that time engaged in postgraduate research focused exclusively on the bauxite and aluminum industry. His groundbreaking research addressed the longstanding issue of unaccounted caustic soda losses, leading to significant advancements in industry processes. Dr. Douglas continued his industry leadership as a foundational figure in the Jamaica Bauxite Institute and served as an international consultant developing operational guidelines that have been adopted by bauxite industries worldwide. Between 1979 and 1983, he worked with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Paris, producing influential publications on environmental and industrial science. He contributed to science education as a lecturer at The UWI for over 20 years and served the nation through the Scientific Research Council as chair for over 10 years. He was awarded the Silver Musgrave Medal by the Institute of Jamaica in 2024. In the same year, The UWI awarded him with the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws (LL.D.), honoris causa, in recognition of his unparalleled service and achievements in the field of science and technology. Dr. Douglas had a love for painting as a child and this has since become a hobby he enjoys.
