His current research involves understanding how anthropogenic emissions perturb complex chemical reaction networks, worsening urban air quality. David R. Shonnard holds the Richard and Bonnie Robbins Chair in Sustainable Materials at Michigan Tech, and directs the Sustainable Futures Institute. His interests include environmentally-conscious chemical process design, life-cycle assessment, environmental transport, bioengineering, and sustainability. Allen and Shonnard co-authored Green Engineering.
