Thomas E. Mallouk

Thomas Edward Mallouk (born April 19, 1954 in New York City ) is an American chemist and materials scientist .

Mallouk earned a bachelor's degree from Brown University in 1977 and received his PhD in 1983 from Neil Bartlett on the subject of Reversible intercalation of graphite by fluorine and related synthetic and thermodynamic studies at the University of California, Berkeley . He worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Mark S. Wrighton at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1983 before joining the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin in 1985 . In 1988 he became a research fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellow ). In 1993 he moved to Pennsylvania State University , where he is now Evan Pugh Professor of Chemical and Physical Materials Science , Deputy Director of the Center for Nanoscale Science, and Deputy Head of Chemistry.

Mallouk is mainly known for his work on inorganic self-assembly and the chemistry of porous and lamellar materials and of nanomaterials . He deals with the application of inorganic materials in the fields of solid-state chemistry , surface chemistry , photochemistry , nanoelectronics , catalysis and electrocatalysis , chemical sensors , superconductivity and environmental remediation . Mallouk is one of the editors of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (as of 2016) .

In 2006 Mallouk received the Priestley Teaching Award , in 2007 the Schreyer Honors College Teaching Award and in 2008 the ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials from the American Chemical Society . In 2009 he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , and in 2015 of the National Academy of Sciences . In 2011 he was the Neil Bartlett Memorial Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley .

Mallouk has (as of January 2019) an h-index of 120.
