Greg Restall served as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Melbourne from 2013 to 2021, within the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies. He earned his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Queensland in 1994, with a thesis entitled 'On Logics Without Contraction' supervised by Graham Priest. Prior to his appointment at Melbourne, Restall held academic positions at the Australian National University and Macquarie University. Following his tenure at Melbourne, he joined the University of St Andrews as Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of Philosophy. His research has been funded by the Australian Research Council, supporting projects such as Constructing Social Hierarchy, involving collaboration with colleagues like Karen Jones, Francois Schroeter, and Laura Schroeter.

Restall's academic interests center on formal logic, philosophy of logic, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of religion. He has authored over 100 papers and five books: An Introduction to Substructural Logics (Routledge, 2000), Logic (Routledge, 2006), Logical Pluralism (Oxford University Press, 2006, with Jc Beall), Proofs and Models in Philosophical Logic (Cambridge University Press, 2022), and Logical Methods (MIT Press, 2023, with Shawn Standefer). Among his most cited works are 'An introduction to substructural logics' (2002, 947 citations), 'Relevance logic' (2002, 388 citations), 'Multiple conclusions' (2005, 325 citations), 'Truthmakers, entailment and necessity' (1996, 265 citations), and 'Negation in relevant logics (how I stopped worrying and learned to love the Routley star)' (1999, 166 citations). These contributions have significantly influenced philosophical logic, particularly in areas like substructural logics, proof theory, and logical pluralism. Restall is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. At Melbourne, he coordinated programs such as the Master of Arts in Philosophy (Advanced Seminars and Shorter Thesis), taught subjects including Logic: Language and Information and Applied Philosophy, and organized events like the Applied Proof Theory workshop.
