Research Interests: 

Cellulosic Bioenergy Research:  Chemical Conversion

Dr. Mallinson's EPSCoR-related research is primarily focused on biofuels and the broader picture of sustainable use of natural resources. 

The emphasis on these studies has produced an understanding of chemical and physical processes underlying the observable thermodynamic and rate behaviors.

Research efforts are directed towards applications of reaction engineering and other chemical process operations, including process development.
