Alison Rodger (born November 21, 1959) is a Scottish-Australian chemist who is a professor of chemistry at the Australian National University.

She is currently developing fluorescence detected liner dichroism, Raman Linear Difference Spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance Vibrational linear dichroism to understand biomacromolecular structure and interactions with application to the division of bacterial cells.

Whilst a student, Roger developed Classical Selection Rule (CSR), a procedure that can be used to analyse reaction mechanisms.

[10][11][12][13] PLOTINA looked to drive cultural change by developing diverse, inclusive work environments.

[10] Under Rodger's leadership, Warwick was the fourth institution to achieve silver Athena SWAN status.

[17] Her lab became the national and international hub of Couette flow Linear Dichroism, allowing scientists to obtain structural and kinetic information about several systems.

[18] Rodgers developed Raman Linear Difference Spectroscopy to study the division of bacterial cells.

[2] Rodger completed a bachelor's degree in Theology at St John's College whilst working as a Professor of Biophysical Chemistry.

[23][24] Alongside investigating circular dichroism of biomacromolecules, Rodger has studied molecular electronic systems.
