Morris D. Argyle
Associate Professor
Morris D. Argyle, Ph.D., Professional Engineer is a chemical engineering expert specializing in petroleum refining and chemical process engineering safety. With a career encompassing academic leadership and industrial operations, he brings a robust understanding of process safety management and risk assessment to his litigation work. His work centers on investigating fluid catalytic cracking operations, assessing refinery process safety, and evaluating whether industry standards were met in chemical plant designs. Mr. Argyle has been retained in numerous expert witness and consulting engagements across the United States, involving cases related to petroleum refining, chemical plant safety, and heterogeneous catalysis. His Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, along with his Professional Engineer registration in Texas, reinforce his ability to deliver objective, defensible analyses. He is regularly engaged by both plaintiff and defense counsel to provide clear, independent determinations of causation in disputes involving chemical process safety and refinery operations.
