2014 Annual Report: Ohio State University Chemical Engineering

William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

2014 A N N U A L R E P O R T future-focused research in energy, advanced materials, polymers, and bioengineering:

SOME OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST CHALLENGES WILL BE SOLVED HERE

Inside: Take a visual tour of the new Koffolt Laboratories in the cutting-edge Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry Building.

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department: It’s been a climactic year as a key chapter in the history of the William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering closes: with CBE Chairman Stuart Cooper’s skillful management and effective guidance over the past ten years, the new Koffolt Laboratories finally came together and we have begun using the new facility.

For making this dream a reality, I want to thank and commend Professor Cooper for all of his hard work, and Bill Lowrie for his astounding vision, leadership, and financial support, which made all the difference.

Of course, we also had the support of hundreds of alumni, friends, and corporate partners, and to all of you I wish to extend our sincerest appreciation as well.

With the new building completed, this is a time of transformation for the Department, in which we will strive to build on the type of close student-faculty interaction that students have benefitted from in years past. The new Koffolt Laboratories supports this structurally, with tremendous facilities such as modular classrooms and appealing meeting and study spaces.

Our mission is to continue a legacy of exceptional teaching and cutting-edge research while training the very best students in the field for careers in industry and academia.

An encouraging indicator of success in this realm: two students, one current and one former, received National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships this year. This brings the total number of NSF GRF’s to 15 over the past ten years.

Our faculty played a strong role in this, and have monumental achievements of their own to prove it.

Our own Stuart Cooper, who became a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2011, received the AIChE Founders Award in 2014, capping a lifetime of seminal accomplishments and successes.

New faculty member Lisa Hall won a National Science Foundation Early Career Development Award, while our newest faculty, Nicholas Brunelli, published in Nature and Science.

Martin Feinberg, whose teaching receives outstanding student praise, was the sole winner of The Ohio State University’s highest teaching honor - the Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching - and Jeff Chalmers was the sole recipient of the international Cell Culture Engineering Award.

NAE member W.S. Winston Ho was elected to the Academia Sinica -- the highest form of academic recognition in the Republic of China in Taiwan.

Jessica Winter became a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and won the American Chemical Society’s Women Chemists Rising Star Award, and Jack Zakin is still at it, winning a senior scientist mentor award from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation.

Just recently, we learned that NAE member L.-S. Fan will be the 2015 AIChE Institute Lecturer.

Professor Fan was also included in the 2014 R&D 100 list for developing coal-direct chemical looping and other technologies which hold great promise for industry and governments wishing to conserve energy costs and reduce pollution.

I hope you will join us on campus and see for yourself our new facilities and what wonderful things your CBE students and faculty are achieving. We couldn’t be prouder, or more excited about the future.

Best regards from all our faculty, staff and students.

Andre F. Palmer Professor and Interim Chair palmer.351@osu.edu 614-292-6033 P.S. I would be remiss not to mention that there are still some prodigious naming opportunities in the new building! The lobby, auditorium, and many other opportunities remain, and would enable us to close out the building campaign, which currently stands at $17M towards a goal of $17.5M. All gifts are welcome, whatever the size or designation. The Department genuinely benefits from the annual support alumni and friends provide. It is critical to our success, and we thank you.

ABOUT OUR INTERIM CHAIR Professor Andre Palmer, who obtained his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University, has been teaching and conducting research at Ohio State since 2006. In 2015, he was inducted into the College of Fellows, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

Palmer also received the College of Engineering’s Harrison Faculty Award for Excellence in Engineering Education in 2012, the Lloyd N. Ferguson Young Scientist Award in 2008, and the NSF Career Award in 2001.

His research interests encompass the development of novel hemoglobinbased oxygen carriers for a variety of applications in transfusion medicine and tissue engineering. His lab is also developing non-heme based plasma expanders, red blood cell storage solutions and monocyte/macrophage targeted drug delivery systems.

The New CBEC / Koffolt Labs: An Investment in Innovation “We’re not thinking big enough. We don’t just need to renovate Koffolt Laboratories we need a whole new building.” --Bill Lowrie It took nearly twenty years to fulfill, but on April 10, 2015, Bill Lowrie’s vision became a reality when the new Koffolt Laboratories in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry (“CBEC”) building celebrated its grand opening.

The CBEC building is an unprecedented partnership between two departments, serving as home to the William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Koffolt Laboratories, and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Research.

Stuart Cooper, department chair from 20042014, was involved in the day-to-day planning and decision-making for the project.

“The decisions we made on the various features of the building were a great partnership between the architects, lab planner, OSU facilities staff and the faculty from both deparments. I am most pleased to have influenced the design of the unit operations space, the design classroom, and the Dow Student Lounge. Everything turned out great!” Cooper said.

The project takes a visionary leap forward in the way research is done, allowing researchers to tackle problems too big for one discipline. CBEC’s innovative, interdisciplinary environment optimizes education, research, and discovery, providing an edge for Ohio State to play a dynamic leadership role in important scientific advancements.

“It’s difficult for any one person to have all the knowledge needed to solve a big problem,” said Professor Barbara Wyslouzil. “By having collaborators, you get to look from someone else’s perspective and hopefully come up with a richer solution.”

With premiere learning spaces and facilities to support research in energy, advanced materials, polymers, and bioengineering, “It is a building -4-

that will allow our best and brightest to explore their ideas and create a brighter world for all Americans,” Congresswoman Joyce Beatty said.

Already, CBEC has helped to attract exceptional faculty and graduate students.

“Recruitment is key to success,” said Barbara Wyslouzil. “A building like this means that you’re serious about science.”

Laboratories were built with ceilings up to 20 feet high to accommodate massive instrumentation, such as the process-scale equipment in the new industry-standard James and Patricia Dietz Unit Operations Laboratory, viewable from the lobby through a glassed-in wall.

“I’ve been comparing the labs that I tour on graduate school visits to the lab spaces in this building, and not very many of them can measure up to what I have here,” said senior Hannah Zierden, who received the AIChE Central Ohio Outstanding Student Award this year.

CBEC also offers exceptional student spaces, with study and student lounge areas on both the lower and “penthouse” levels. The Karen and Milt Hendricks Student Lounge on the lower level has lockers, a kitchen area, and showers for those who commute by bike, and the office tower’s top-floor Dow Student Lounge offers big-screen, multihubbed computer consoles for group projects -- as well as great views of campus and downtown.

The Doug Baughman Design Space and Classroom can be configured for interactive groups and includes a moveable soundproof wall.

The lobby’s unique serpentine glass wall creates intimate clustered seating areas where students converge to discuss projects next to a 71-foot moving light mural by renowned artist Leo Villareal.

“The new Koffolt Laboratory is everything I hoped for,” Bill Lowrie said. “I believe that in the coming years, it will help move Ohio State’s chemical engineering department up into the top ten in the country.”

L.-S. FAN NAMED 2015 AIChE INSTITUTE LECTURER NAE member L.-S. Fan and Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. received a $2.5 million U.S. Department of Energy award for Phase II development to design a coal power plant that captures carbon dioxide with iron-based coal-direct chemical looping (CDCL) technology. Fan pioneered the CDCL technology, which chemically harnesses coal’s energy and contains carbon dioxide as a concentrated gas that can be directly utilized or stored, offering a low-cost scheme for carbon capture.

L.-S. Fan and his collaborators at Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) received the 2014 R&D 100 Award from Industrial Research magazine for Fan’s work on high-efficiency calcium looping technlogy (HECLOT). Called the “Oscars of Invention,” the R&D 100 Awards recognize the top 100 technology products of the year. Fan’s process uses calcium oxide to capture carbon dioxide in the flue gas stream generated from coal combustion (such as that found in power plants). This is then used to grow algae, which is extracted for oil. The resulting deactivated/spent calcium oxide is then used as a key ingredient in cement production. Thus, HECLOT offers concurrent “green” efficiencies that could also help control pollutants.

In February 2014, U.S. Representative Morgan Griffith commended Fan’s work to DOE and NETL members at a House Energy and Commerce Committee clean coal hearing.

Fan also won The Ohio State University College of Engineering Lumley Research Award.

Finally, early in 2015, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) announced that Fan would be the 2015 AIChE Institute Lecturer.

NEW FACULTY NICHOLAS BRUNELLI OFF TO A FAST START Within six months of joining CBE, new faculty Nicholas Brunelli published in two high-impact journals - Nature Communications and Science. The Science paper (4 July 2014) describes a novel method to overcome a significant barrier to creating high-selective membranes on commercially relevant scales and has the potential to transform the industrial separation landscape while reducing the vast energy consumption required for thermal separation methods.

The Nature paper (17 February 2014) was entitled “Direct synthesis of single-walled aminoaluminosilicate nanotubes with enhanced molecular adsorption selectivity.”

NSF GRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS CBE senior Angela Chen and CBE alumnus William L. Murch (currently at Stanford) won National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships.

Joseph Gauthier, Nathan Volchko, and Robert Warburton won NSF Honorable Mentions.

CBE students have a strong track record of receiving NSF fellowships: In the last ten years, 15 CBE students have received NSF fellowships. This is a considerable number, since only 14% of all students who apply for a fellowship actually receive one. Numerous honorable mentions were also received during this time period.

JESSICA WINTER’S ACHIEVEMENTS MOUNT The National Science Foundation renewed funding for OSU’s Center for Emergent Matierials, a project for which Jessica Winter serves as associate director. The sixyear, $17.9 million grant funds Ohio State’s long-term studies of innovative new materials.

Winter, an established leader in nanobiotechnology known for her development of magnetic quantum dots for cell and molecular separations, was also elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and won the American Chemical Society’s Women Chemists Rising Star Award.

She was a speaker in this year’s TEDxColumbus STEAM (ScienceTechnology-Engineering-Arts-and-Math) and was featured in a National Science Foundation 360 News Service podcast.

LISA HALL WINS NSF CAREER AWARD A National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award went to Lisa Hall, the H.C. “Slip” Slider Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering this year.

Hall received the five-year, $475,000 award for her research on how polymer structure controls overall materials properties. Hall’s research involves theoretical and computational studies of polymeric materials for potential applications as non-flammable polymer electrolytes in a new generation of safe, lightweight batteries.

Jeffrey Chalmers was named the sole recipient of the global 2014 Cell Culture Engineering Award from Engineering Conferences International.

Martin Feinberg received the 2014 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching, Ohio State’s highest teaching honor.

NAE member Winston Ho was elected Academician of Academia Sinica, the highest form of academic recognition in the Republic of China in Taiwan.

Jack Zakin won the Senior Scientist Mentor Program Award from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation.

BOB BRODKEY AND JACK ZACKIN IN TOP 3% OF OHIO STATE EMERITUS FACULTY One attended the 1959 groundbreaking for old Koffolt Labs and is still active with CBE today. The other has been teaching, mentoring Ohio State ChemE students, and performing research since 1974.

This year, Robert Brodkey and Jacques Zakin became inaugural class members of OSU’s new Emeritus Academy, which includes just three percent of the total number of emeritus professors at Ohio State.

Andrew Tong (Ph.D. ‘14) became a CBE research assistant professor and will continue chemical looping research and demonstration projects to support L.-S. Fan’s clean coal program.

Undergraduate Program 2014 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 co-op experience provides an opportunity to apply what is learned in the classroom in careerrelated positions by alternating semesters 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 semester or for two consecutive semesters. 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 fulltime 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 84 co-op rotations and 110 internship or part-time work experiences.

The following is a list of companies who hired OSU undergraduates in our program and the students who were hired by those companies: Adsorption Research Inc: Patrick Kehn; Air Force Research Lab: Lucas Miller; AK Steel: Jacob Martin; AkzoNobel: Paul Lisska; AMETEK: Frances Lin; Anheuser-Busch: Derrik Thomin; Anomatic Corp: Jacquelyn Daugherty, Eryk Kennedy, Sally Raudabaugh,

Placement Record for Undergraduates The next section summarizes the known job placements for our graduates. Our program continues to have a strong placement record both within industry and within graduate and professional programs. The percentages provided here are based on senior exit surveys at the time of graduation.

As reported upon graduation, 54% of our graduates will be going directly to industry with their B.S. degrees. An additional 13% are pursuing graduate or professional school. Approximately 38% of our students have accepted positions in Ohio. Students will be working at various corporations such as Exxon Mobil, the Dow Chemical Company, Procter & Gamble, and DuPont.

A number of our graduates received various types of honors: Latin honors, with honors research distinction or with honors in engineering.

Twenty-six students graduated with honors in engineering and twelve students graduated with distinction in various disciplines.

Latin honors are defined as follows: a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.50-3.69 is cum laude; 3.70-3.89 is magna cum laude; and 3.904.00 is summa cum laude. There are two ways for students to receive distinction for research activities: A student who graduates with honors research distinction is an honors student (greater than a 3.40 GPA) who has completed a senior honors research thesis. A student who graduates with research distinction is a student (GPA between 3.00-3.39) who has completed a senior research thesis. A student who graduates with honors in engineering has completed a three-prong program consisting of completing a required number of honors courses, participation in community service, leadership and outreach as well participation in “investigational studies” which typically includes completing a research paper or thesis or completing a minor.

2013-2014 Undergraduate Scholarship Information A total of 147 students were awarded undergraduate scholarships in the Chemical & Biomolecular program. The vast majority of scholarship funds went to current majors, although a small amount was earmarked for recruiting talented firstyear students as well. A total of $182,600 was awarded to students heading into the 2014-2015 school year. The average award was $1,242 this year, compared to $1,114 the previous year.

Trends in data from financial aid show that the number and amount of both student and parental loans have been increasing. Since the increase in scholarship support hasn’t been able to keep up with the cost of a college education, department scholarships from alumni and corporate donors help to defray a portion of the loan burden for many of our students.

We thank those of our alumni who have established scholarship endowments for this purpose, as well as our corporate donors who provide scholarships on an annual basis.

Millions

Over the past seven years, the research expenditures for the department have been outstanding. While we experienced a decline to $7.2M in 2012, reflecting the end of substantial funding from the State of Ohio’s “Third Frontier” program, we showed increasing gains in 2013 and 2014. On a per-capita basis, expenditures averaged $547K per year during fiscal years 2010-2014. Our faculty are among the most productive at Ohio State and near the top of all chemical engineering departments in the nation.

CBE Outstanding Graduate Student Awards for Academic Achievement

Mike Dickens, Keynote To help give students an idea of what to expect in their careers, Battelle’s General Manager Mike Dickens (‘87 BS; ‘97 Ph.D.-Microbiology) took the audience through his own.

Dickens, who attributes his early success to completing his Ph.D. with ten papers and two patents, described how 9/11 led him to leave his position at Merck and return to Ohio.

“You will be forced to make difficult decisions at times,” he said. “Make them carefully - each can have long-term consequences.”

“His talk was highly inspiring to students looking to get into industry,” said Symposium attendee and presenter Viraj Modak.

The Dow-sponsored event, which this year showcased the research of 31 students, continues to grow in popularity. The number of representatives from industry has doubled and includes representatives from Dow, DuPont, Exxon-Mobil, General Mills, and Shell.

“The oral and poster presentations were excellent,” said Shwetha Ramkuman (ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co.). “It is a great platform for networking, recruitment, and for industry representatives to be informed of the research being conducted in the department,” she added.

carrying Bob’s name and legacy with a scholarship.

“It was a privilege and honor to work with or for him. Given what they received, they felt happy to help out,” Lakshmanan said.

“I had the urge to pay forward, and the more I thought about it, it made sense to honor Bob Brodkey,” said Class of ‘83 member Kris Lakshmanan.

Meanwhile, Class of ‘66 members Bill Lowrie and Glen McKee had their own idea, and led the way for naming the Robert S. Brodkey Faculty Office.

Together with Bill Lee and Tom Heeb, the three knew they were onto something when each of the people they reached out to favored the idea of

Jon Salladay, Doug Smith and Larry Greene spearheaded the effort to name the Class of 1968 Faculty Office (386 CBEC).

Class of ‘61 members Larry Woodworth (now deceased), Ron Harris, and Jack Hammond led an effort to name the Class of ‘61 Conference Room.

Later joined by Ron Follmer and Paul Bigley, 17 of “Joe’s Jewels” (some are pictured above) collectively gave!

Finally, Matt Galosi (‘80) rallied other generous alumni to name the Class of 1980 Biotechnology Laboratory, while Class of ‘83 alumni Leonore Lakshmanan and Rich Brandon led an effort to name the Class of 1983 Faculty Office (358 CBEC).
