Research Interests

Dr. Hall’s research focuses on precision measurement of the thermophysical properties of fluids and their mixtures as well as development of molecular-thermodynamic models and correlations. The purpose of measuring, simulating, interpreting and correlating thermodynamic properties for a variety of fluids and their mixtures is to provide information for process and product design in the chemical and related industries.
