Greg Doran

Dr. Greg Doran is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at Charles Sturt University's School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences, based at the Wagga Wagga campus. He holds a BSc (La Trobe), MAppSc (RMIT), and PhD (Charles Sturt) with expertise in analytical spectroscopy and environmental chemistry. His research addresses analytical challenges in environmental/agricultural systems through projects like veterinary drug residue studies and pesticide fate analysis.

Research interests focus on:

• Veterinary pharmaceuticals and pharmacokinetics
• Environmental contamination pathways
• Pesticide degradation in agroecosystems
• Novel analytical methods for complex matrices

Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate strong emphasis on ecological chemistry and veterinary pharmacology, particularly pharmaceutical monitoring in wildlife and hydrological systems across Southeast Asia and Australia. Research projects include:

• NSW police occupational exposure to illicit drugs ($95k)
• Nitrification inhibitor efficacy in Australian soils ($45k)
• Livestock anesthetic residue kinetics ($66k)

As a Registered Supervisor, he currently mentors 5 postgraduate students researching topics from equine nutrition to metal toxicity remediation. He collaborates with the Gulbali Research Institute and maintains professional membership with the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.
