Green Chemistry – Scholarships
Research Projects
A number of scholarships are available for projects under the Cleaner Synthesis Technology and Green Biotechnology research platforms.
Outstanding candidates having an Honours degree or equivalent, in chemistry or a related field are invited to apply.
Each Scholarship is available for 3 years and carries a stipend at least equivalent to an Australian Postgraduate Award, AUD$20,007 p.a. (tax free), including ‘topups’ to APA(I) level AUD$26,140 p.a. for students with MGS or other scholarships. International student fees scholarships are also available.

Research in Cleaner Synthesis Technology
This involves an holistic, matrix approach to chemical synthesis of high value added products including development of new chemical methodologies and products. The main research directions are:
- Enabling, green technologies
- Green organic reactions
- Green reaction media
Projects include the green synthesis of engineering plastics using water as a reaction solvent; lignin degradation study and its biomass application; development of a novel polymer recycling system using photopolymerization; and nano green technology studies.

Research in Green Biotechnology:
Utilising natural manufacturing approaches, this research platform is developing significant innovations in Green Chemistry to the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Often, within the product portfolio of these industries, particularly those manufacturing high value-added compounds, poor atom efficiency is achieved through wasteful methods of low productivity. This is related to choice of reagents, inefficient recovery and purification, and the large quantities of ultra high quality water required. In the Centre for Green Chemistry's Green Biotechnology Platform, emphasis has been placed on developing synthetic, analytical and macromolecular approaches that provide clean and sustainable chemical technologies for high-tech industries.
