Wald graduated from the Higher Technical School in Prague, and beginning in 1882 he worked as a chemist. From 1886 to 1908 he was chief chemist for the iron works in Kladno (Bohemia). From 1908 to 1928, Wald was a professor at the Higher Technical School in Prague. His work facilitated the development of industry in Bohemia.
