Patrick Malone's primary interests are the urban built environment and the history of industrial communities. He also does a great deal of work in public humanities, focusing on museum interpretation, park development, and the recording of engineering structures. Much of his work examines American rivers and hydraulic engineering. His present research interests include waterpower in Lowell, MA, and the history of manufacturing at Springfield Armory.

Professor Malone's latest book for Johns Hopkins University Press, Waterpower In Lowell, will be published October 2009. He examines the development of the industrial city and the role of waterpower; it is a study of engineering, as well as urban planning. Lowell now has a national historical park, and this book should become an important resource in the interpretation of that park. It is based on many years of work in industrial archaeology, the history of technology, and urban studies.
