2013 CBE Annual Report

William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department:

our US News and World Report 2015 national ranking increased significantly, from 29 to 23.

By the time you read this the “polar vortex” will be old news, and indeed we survived it, although two days of classes at the beginning of the term were cancelled.

This year we welcome Nicholas Brunelli, our 21st faculty member, and John Clay, our second professor of practice. Nicholas joins us after obtaining his PhD at Cal Tech and a postdoctoral appointment at Georgia Tech, and John, who received his PhD at Ohio State with Kurt Koelling, arrived after a 15-year career with Battelle.

We chose as our cover photo the image of our summer unit operations class, which shows at a glance the real news of the department and the profession.

Enrollment has continued to surge and will likely require a campus ceiling on engineering admissions in order to keep things under control. Large enrollments are occurring across the board in other engineering majors and in other colleges across the nation. It is a nice problem to have, considering the roller coaster of enrollment trends that we have seen since the 70’s. In the past, recessions have greatly suppressed engineering enrollment.

However, the great recession of 2008 has had the opposite effect. My take on what is happening is that students and families are looking to engineering and science majors as more assured pathways to careers that will justify the high cost of a college education.

Beyond benefitting resurgent chemical process and energy production industries, more chemical engineers contribute to a more scientifically literate public -- a very good end in itself.

Last year we had a record of 535 majors and 118 B.S. graduates. 190 students, another record, went through our Unit Ops summer lab. A change starting next year will be our teaching this laboratory course during the academic year in two and three-credit blocks. We expect this will allow better use of the summer break for our juniors and seniors seeking summer internships and co-op opportunities. Currently we have 79 graduate students in residence and 13 students received their PhD degrees last year. Our research expenditures rebounded to $8.2M. Finally, -2-

Our faculty continues to receive considerable recognition. Some highlights include L. S. Fan receiving the AIChE Wilhelm Award, being named a National Academy of Inventors Fellow, and being elected to Fellowship in the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. As a continuation of the ACS symposium honoring Umit Ozkan, a special volume of Topics in Catalysis was published in December, 2013, with 35 contributions from researchers in the US and around the world. Jessica Winter, Lisa Hall and Barbara Wyslouzil received a $1.2M grant from NSF for nanocomposite production, and David Wood received a $1M DARPA grant to improve drug manufacturing efficiency.

Our new Koffolt Laboratories is moving toward completion, and all those receiving this report will be invited to the upcoming “Ribbon Cutting” (invitations mailed later). We are in the home stretch to achieve our goal of raising $17.5M of the $126M total cost of the building, and thanks to all of our alumni and friends who have so generously contributed. If others step up, we should achieve our goal. We expect to begin teaching in the new building in January 2015.

Best regards from all our faculty, staff and students.

Koffolt Laboratories National Campaign Committee The Koffolt Laboratories National Campaign Committee gathered at 2 pm on Friday, October 25, 2012. Chairman Bill Lowrie opened the meeting, followed by Department Chairman Stuart Cooper’s departmental overview. Recent faculty awards and honors, undergraduate enrollment and growth, research expenditures, faculty productivity, and graduate rankings were highlighted.

Guests Faye Bodyke and Brett Meyer gave an update on the construction progress of the CBEC building (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry). During peak construction times, there are 275 employees on site. Safety is a priority, and safety measures are strictly enforced.

Members of the Koffolt Committee and other alums tour the new Koffolt Labs / CBEC (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry) building.

The project was budgeted for $89M in construction dollars and a $3.8M in bid overage has been reduced to $1.1M. The building was enclosed in the fall of 2013 and interior work, starting with the basement, is expected to continue into spring. The entire interior should be complete by mid-July, with the building contract complete by November 15, 2014.

New faculty member Nicholas Brunelli gave an overview of his background and a brief introduction to his research on catalytic material design.

Director of Development Jessica Schmitt led a closed session discussing campaign issues, updates, and strategies.

The meeting adjourned at 3:50 pm for a tour of the building site.

UMIT OZKAN

JESSICA WINTER

JESSICA WINTER LISA HALL BARBARA WYSLOUZIL

Topics in Catalysis, a premier journal in the field of catalysis, honored Umit Ozkan with a special volume published December 2013 (volume 56, issues 18-20). The volume included articles detailing catalysis innovations in many areas, from 35 different research groups and 12 countries. The preface states that “the breadth of topics covered and the global input into this special issue highlight the diverse and important problems that Professor Ozkan has addressed in her career, the impact that she has made, and the people whom she has positively influenced.”

Jessica Winter was featured in the January 17, 2014 edition of Business First-Columbus in their “People to Know in Technology” series. Winter, still early in her career, has become well-known in the bio/nanotechnology field for the development of a high-caliber magnetic fluorescent nanoparticle which can be used in cancer detection and treatments and significantly reduce costs for researchers. Winter was also included in StateStat’s list of Top 25 STEM Professors in Ohio.

In August, 2014, Jessica Winter and CBE co-PIs Lisa Hall and Barbara Wyslouzil received a $1.2M National Science Foundation grant to begin scale-up of the nanocomposites for biomedical applications at increased volume for direct translation to industry. New synthesis methods such as electrospray and self-assembly will be evaluated for their commercial potential. If successful, critical roadblocks in nanocomposite commercialization will be addressed.

Faculty Profile: Jeffrey Chalmers Metastatic breast cancer overall survival correlates to specific cell types Using technology developed between OSU and Cleveland Clinic, the Chalmers lab in collaboration with the breast cancer program at The James Cancer Hospital have established that specific, atypical cell types are associated with overall patient survival.

The graph below is a Kaplan Meier plot of the overall survival of patients (measured as the percent of the original patient population) as a function of elapsed days after sample was taken.

While “circulating tumor cells� (CTCs) have received significant research and clinical interest, in addition to popular press, these cells DO NOT fit the classical definition of CTCs. It is highly likely that they are a new type of circulating tumor cell.

These initial results, in press in the journal Breast Cancer Research, potentially open new avenues to not only develop blood-based prognostic markers giving a patient quantitative information on the status of their disease, but shed more light on a disease that has proven lethal to many women.

The green line across the top represents the percent survival of patients when there is less than 100 of these specific cells per ml of blood present, while the red line represents patients with greater than 100 of these specific cells per ml of blood.

Remembering Ed Smith

Meet John Clay With a burgeoning Unit Ops enrollment of over 190 students for last Maymester’s intensive hands-on course, John Clay was hired as an additional clinical professor.

John obtained his PhD from Ohio State in 1997 as Kurt Koelling’s first graduate student. Upon graduation, he joined Battelle Memorial Institute, a contract research and development organization.

Professor Emeritus Ed Smith (right) and former CBE faculty Peter Krumin in the 1950s.

The department was sorrowed to learn of the death of Edwin Earle Smith, 90, Ohio State CBE professor emeritus of chemical engineering, on June 16, 2013.

Professor Smith, a genial, gentle, and well-liked colleague, was a football star at Sugarcreek-Shoesville High School. He received his Ohio State chemical engineering degrees in 1944 (BS), 1947 (MS), and 1949 (PhD), respectively. He was a member of the Ohio State Marching Band, and served in the US Navy during World War II.

John has a passion for teaching and was an adjunct faculty member at Ohio State for the past 11 years before taking on the larger role of clinical professor.

John will work with Carlo Scaccia to run the last summer Unit Ops laboratory in old Koffot Labs, before transitioning to the new building next year.

He will be teaching in the senior design area and also in some of our core courses. In addition, he maintains a fractional appointment at Battelle.

Spouse Kristy Clay is an Ohio State veterinary medicine grad, and together they manage the sports and extracurricular activities of children Luke and Natalie, both 12, and Meredith, age 9.

Smith was sought as an expert on fire resistant materials by architects of sky scrapers, sports arenas, and other large buildings. He often testified as an expert witness in major deadly fires, including the 1977 Beverly Hills Supper Club in Florence, KY and the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas in 1980.

The combustion chamber test that he developed in his fire research studies was adopted as a standard by the American Society for Testing Materials and is often referred to as the “Ohio State rate of heat release apparatus.” It was adapted by the Federal Aviation Administration in 1986 and many other groups to screen flammable materials in order to develop improved combustion-resistant materials for confined locations.

He retired from teaching in 1988, and continued his research for several more years.

Undergraduate Program 2013 Cooperative Learning Experiences

The Engineering Cooperative Education & Internship Program (ECIP) helps undergraduate students obtain career-related employment of two types: cooperative education (co-op) positions and internships. A coop experience provides an opportunity to apply what is learned in the classroom in career-related positions by alternating quarters of full-time coursework with periods of paid, full-time employment. An internship involves one work period with an employer. A work period may last for one quarter or for two consecutive quarters. Summer internships are the most popular among students and employers.

Students meet with advisors Brian Endres and Katie Bush-Glenn to evaluate different schedule arrangements before interviewing because many employers hire for specific “rotations.� For instance, students may work full-time during the summer, attend full-time classes in autumn, and return to their employer for full-time work in the spring. The most popular term to work is the summer. Last year, CBE students completed 73 co-op rotations and 118 internship or part-time work experiences.

2013-2014 Undergraduate Scholarship Information A total of 161 students were awarded undergraduate scholarships in the Chemical & Biomolecular program. The vast majority of those students were current majors, although a small amount went to recruit high ability first year students as well. A total of $179,500 was awarded to students heading into the 2013-2014 school year. The average award was $1114 this year compared to $955 the previous year.

Trends in data from financial aid show that the number and amount of both student and parent loans have been increasing. Both Ohio State tuition and University financial support have been increasing. However, since the increase in scholarship support hasn’t been able to keep up with tuition increases, engineering students and their families have had to increase their debt levels to cover the additional costs. In the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department, department scholarships from alumni and corporate donors help defray a small part of the loan burden for many of our students.

Department scholarships are determined mainly by merit. However, when a scholarship specifies that a student’s need be considered, both merit and need are taken into account.

We thank all of our alumni and corporate donors who have established scholarship endowments or support scholarships on an annual basis.

Graduate Program Ranking

Faculty Productivity

The 2015 US News and World Report rankings of engineering graduate programs placed the Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at #23. While the college rankings are based in good part on objective measures such as research funding, number of PhD graduates, number of publications, etc., the departmental rankings are based on subjective surveys of deans of engineering and industrial executives.

The following table relating to faculty research and our PhD program attests to our faculty’s productivity. In the past five years the average graduation rate was 15 PhD students per year and a ratio of 0.78 PhD degrees per faculty member. 2012 shows a decline in research expenditures to $7.3M, reflecting the end of substantial funding from the State of Ohio’s “Third Frontier” program.

Alumnus Profile: Paul Chungmoo Auh On the need for clean and safe energy: “Harmonize with nature before it’s too late.” of heating and cooling equipment such as a compact absorption refrigeration unit for use as a heating and cooling system. During this time, he also attended Ohio State as a grad student.

“Western education gave me a strong technical background and a global mind, which deeply impacted and benefitted my career,” Auh recalls.

Paul Chungmoo Auh (‘70 MS-ChE, ‘75 PhD-ChE) and Heyeun Kang.

One of Ohio State University’s three “Discovery Themes” addressing the technological, social, and environmental stresses that define today’s global world is Energy and Environment -- an area of interest to many ChemEs. We spoke to alumnus Paul Chungmoo Auh, whose career involved developing scientific responses to the global need for energy and the associated effects on the environment, particularly in the field of solar energy and water pollution.

Auh began his career at Columbia Gas, developing new types

“I had left Korea in the early 60s, after the devastation of the Korean War. People were eager for better education, because they thought that advanced knowledge would be the key for a better future for both themselves and their country,” he explained.

After graduating from Ohio State, Auh worked in the Solar Technology Group of the Energy and Environment Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, NY to improve the performance of solar-operated air conditioning systems.

“For most of my career, my main research interest has been solar energy, specifically, solar air-conditioning and passive solar technologies. I believe that passive solar technologies are economically viable in many instances at present,” he said.

“It’s unavoidable that we must find new and renewable energy for a sustainable environment,” he added. “The problem is that it is not easy to procure appropriate new energy options that are economically viable when compared to conventional energy resources. Solar electric, wind, and biomass appear to be compatible at the moment, as well as many other new energy options, however.”

“The world would be safer without nuclear energy, for example, but many countries would not survive without it at the present time. The economics of clean and safe energy options will control the extent of nuclear energy useage in the future. Meanwhile, nuclear accidents will continue causing harm.”

“We must choose a variety of new, economically viable, energy options, not just one specific one, because no single option would be able to significantly replace the current energy resources. That is why the formulation of a mixed energy plan may be necessary for each country or region. Since air, water, and land pollution is all inter-connected, a variety of advanced technologies - including bio - should be developed focusing on acid rain, waste chemicals, and animal wastes, etc., especially for water pollution,” he observed.

After retiring, Auh taught new and renewable energy technologies at Hanbat National University in Korea, and serves as president of the Green Industry Angel Club, which provides technical assistance and connections to both technology owners and investors in new and renewable energy areas.

The major goal of the 25-member club is to help entrepreneurs create new businesses with the help of club members’ technical assistance.

Auh, who has authored 370+ technical research papers and reports, and authored or co-authored five technical books on solar energy, received the National Order of Mokryun-Chang award from the president of Korea in 1990, and the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Ohio State University in 1993. In 1989 he received the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology’s Outstanding R&D Project Award, and the Korean Solar Energy Society’s main Academic Award.

He served as Distinguished Senior Researcher at the Korea Institute of Energy Research for six years.
