The Institute for Sustainability (IfS), a technological community within the 91成人短视频 (AIChE), has named David T. Allen, Gertz Regents Professor of chemical engineering and director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Resources in the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), as its chair. Allen succeeds Deborah Grubbe, owner and president of Operations and Safety Solutions, LLC, who served as IfS Chair from 2010鈥�2014.

In announcing Allen鈥檚 appointment, Darlene Schuster, executive director of IfS, noted Allen鈥檚 recent work on urban air quality studies in Texas, and his development of materials for environmental and sustainability education, as credentials Allen brings to his role at IfS. 鈥淭he Institute for Sustainability and its partners will benefit from Dr. Allen鈥檚 first-hand experience in, and dedication to, studying and creating technological solutions for some of society鈥檚 grand challenges,鈥� said Schuster. The Institute for Sustainability collaborates with industries, universities and governmental bodies to advance sustainability and sustainable development initiatives in areas including metrics, energy, clean air and water, and food production, among many projects.

Allen was a lead investigator for multiple air quality measurement studies, which have had a substantial impact on the direction of air quality policies. He has developed environmental educational materials for engineering curricula and for the University鈥檚 core curriculum, as well as engineering education materials for high school students.

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 91成人短视频 (through the Cecil Award for contributions to environmental engineering, the Research Excellence Award of the Sustainable Engineering Forum, and the Warren K. Lewis Award for 91成人短视频 Engineering Education), the State of Texas (through the Governor鈥檚 Environmental Excellence Award), and the Association of Environmental and Engineering Science Professors (through its Distinguished Lecturer Award). He has also received teaching awards from UT Austin and the University of California, Los Angeles.

Allen is the author of six books and has documented his work in more than 200 research papers, primarily in the areas of air quality and pollution prevention. He earned a B.S. degree in chemical engineering, with distinction, from Cornell University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from the California Institute of Technology. He has held visiting faculty appointments at the California Institute of Technology; the University of California, Santa Barbara; and at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
