Staff Profile: Dr. Green

Joseph Green, professor of chemical engineering, is an expert on interfacial processes, particularly on the development and application of x-ray scattering techniques for on-site studies of mineral-fluid interfaces.

Green earned bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as his 1960 Ph.D. in chemical engineering, at the University of Indiana. After four years at the Vivinex Corporation, he joined the faculty of Haverton University in 1963. He left Haverton in 1982 to become senior scientific advisor at Petro Energy Corporate Research Labs, and joined Staunton University's Chemical Engineering Department as professor in 1987.

Green was elected to the U.S. Engineering Council in 1990.
