Franklin M. Orr, Jr. served as dean of the School of Earth Sciences from 1994 through 2002. He is also the Keleen and Carlton Beal Professor of Petroleum Engineering and former department chair. His research activities focus on the interactions of fluid phase behavior with multiphase flow in porous media, the design of gas injection processes for enhanced oil recovery, and C02 sequestration in subsurface porous media. "Lynn" Orr, as he is known, earned a Stanford B.Sc. in chemical engineering in 1969, and his Ph.D., also in chemical engineering, from the University of Minnesota in 1976. He joined the Stanford faculty in 1985.
Dean Orr is a board member of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), member of the board of directors of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and a director of the American Geological Institute Foundation. He is the recipient of a 1993 Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineering Faculty from the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and received the School of Earth Sciences Teaching Award in 1994. Dean Orr was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2000, and was selected as the 2001 recipient of the Robert Earll McConnell Award by the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME).
