Ary Hoffmann completed his undergraduate education at the University of Queensland and Monash Universities, graduating with a BSc(Hons) in 1980. He then undertook PhD at La Trobe with Peter Parsons, graduating in 1984. Ary completed a postdoc at UC Davis with Michael Turelli before returning to La Trobe where he started as a Lecturer and attained a personal Chair in 1998.
