Richard G. Mallinson
Dr. Richard Mallinson is Professor of Chemical
Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. He joined
the faculty in 1983 after earning his Master's and
Doctorate degrees in chemical engineering at Purdue
University. He has undergraduate degrees in both
chemical and biomedical engineering from Tulane University.
His research interests have varied from biomedical
engineering and polymer science to many aspects of
energy and fuels. His energy related research began
with studies of coal and shale oil liquefaction and
more recently have focused on natural gas conversion
(see recent publications) and gas vehicle fuel storage
and gas transportation (see recent publications).
The emphasis on these studies has been the development
of an understanding chemical and physical processes
underlying the observable thermodynamic and rate
behavior. The efforts are directed towards applications
of reaction engineering and other chemical process
operations, including process development. Dr. Mallinson
has also developed projects related to polymerization
and catalytic reaction engineering. He has directed
research programs funded by the U.S. Department of
Energy, the U.S. Air Force, The State of Oklahoma
as well as private companies.
He was Director of the Institute for Gas Utilization
Technologies of the Sarkeys Energy Center from the
mid 90s until 2003. He was integrally involved in
the development of a curriculum for a new interdisciplinary
Masters degree program in Natural Gas Engineering
and Management that includes internet based courses
via streaming video and netmeeting. Please see the

Dr. Mallinson is a member of the American Chemical
Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers,
as well as Sigma Xi. He is Secretary of the Fuels
and Petrochemicals Division of AIChE as well as the
programming co-chair for gas. He has held a five year
Kerr-McGee Distinguished Lectureship in the OU College
of Engineering from 1989 to 1994. He was an Associated
Western Universities Faculty Fellow at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory in 1990. He is listed in Who's
Who in Science and Engineering, in America and in
The World. He has been a Guest Associate Professor
of Tianjin University with their State Key Laboratory
of C1 Research and was a Visiting Associate Professor
at Chulalongkorn University in their Petroleum and
Petrochemical College. He reviews for a number of
journals and agencies and has consulted for a number
of companies, the Energy Research and Development
Authority of the State of New York and the Department
of Energy and National Science Foundation.
