معرفی
Paul Marshall is a Regents Professor at the University of North Texas (UNT) in the Department of Chemistry within the College of Science. He holds a B.A. (1982) and Ph.D. (1985) in Physical Chemistry from the University of Cambridge, followed by postdoctoral research at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1985-1988). Dr. Marshall joined UNT in 1988 as Assistant Professor, advancing to Associate Professor (1994), Professor (2000), and Regents Professor (2005). He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including Physical Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics, and General Chemistry.
His research focuses on gas-phase reaction kinetics with emphasis on:
- Elementary reactions of atoms/radicals using laser spectroscopy
- Combustion chemistry of sulfur, nitrogen, and halogenated compounds
- Atmospheric reaction mechanisms and climate impacts
- Computational chemistry of potential energy surfaces
His 180+ publications predominantly explore reaction kinetics, with recent work emphasizing:
- Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide combustion pathways
- Atmospheric degradation of fluorinated compounds
- Alkali-sulfur interactions in co-firing applications
- Advanced diagnostic techniques for kinetic measurements
Honors include:
- Sugden Award (Combustion Institute, 2013)
- Developing Scholar Award (UNT, 1996)
- Top Prof Award (UNT, 1994)
He leads a research group utilizing laser photolysis apparatus and shock tube facilities. Current projects involve ammonia combustion kinetics and sulfur chemistry with funding from energy and environmental agencies.
