Alison Green

Dr Alison Green is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Federation University Australia, affiliated with the Institute of Innovation, Science and Sustainability (IISS). She holds a PhD and Bachelor of Science (Hons) from the University of Melbourne (2005) and a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education from Monash University (2005). Her research focuses on environmental chemistry, particularly the utilization of brown coal for water remediation and sustainable resource management. She has collaborated extensively on projects involving mechanical thermal expression (MTE) processing of Latrobe Valley coals to improve water quality.

Dr Green has supervised PhD student Christopher Butler, whose thesis addressed the utilization of product water from coal processing. Her work bridges environmental engineering and chemistry, emphasizing practical solutions for industrial byproduct management. She is also engaged in STEM outreach activities, including initiatives to support first-year chemistry students without prior background.

Her publications explore topics such as coal-based filtration systems, trace element behavior in coal processing, and water reuse strategies. While no specific awards are listed, her contributions to sustainable resource utilization align with broader institutional priorities in environmental innovation.
