Biography

Dr Greg You specialises in geotechnical engineering and is internationally well-known in the areas of land subsidence and earth fissures due to groundwater extraction, slope stability in open cut mines, and waste containment technology for landfill.

Dr You has 20 years’ experience in engineering research and industry engagement, and is committed to providing technical services and collaboration with industry, government and the community. He has published 67 research papers and has spoken at more than 60 seminars and workshops in 13 countries since 2001. He also serves as an Editorial Board Member for Insights of Mining Science & Technology.

Before joining Federation University Australia in 2006, first as Senior Lecturer and then as Program Coordinator of Mining Engineering, Greg was Technical Manager of the Asia/Pacific Region at GSE Lining Technology Co. Ltd. He received his PhD in geotechnical engineering from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand in 2003.
