BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Dr. David Allen is the Gertz Regents
Professor of Chemical Engineering, and the Director of the Center for
Energy and Environmental Resources, at the University of Texas at
Austin. He is the author of six books and over 170 papers in areas
ranging from coal liquefaction and heavy oil chemistry to the chemistry
of urban atmospheres. For the past decade, his work has focused
primarily on urban air quality and the development of materials for
environmental education. Dr. Allen was a lead investigator for the first
and second Texas Air Quality Studies, which involved hundreds of
researchers drawn from around the world, and which have had a
substantial impact on the direction of air quality policies in Texas. He
has also developed environmental educational materials for engineering
curricula and for the University’s core curriculum. The quality of his
work has been recognized by the National Science Foundation (through the
Presidential Young Investigator Award), the AT&T Foundation (through an
Industrial Ecology Fellowship), the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers (through the Cecil Award for contributions to environmental
engineering), and the State of Texas (through the Governor’s
Environmental Excellence Award). He has won teaching awards at the
University of Texas and UCLA.
