The University of Pittsburgh The University of Pittsburgh of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education is a nonsectarian, coeducational, state-related, public research university. It is internationally respected as a center for learning and research. The University was founded in a log cabin near the confluence of Pittsburgh's three rivers in 1787 as a small, private school named the Pittsburgh Academy, renamed in 1819 as the Western University of Pennsylvania, and then renamed again in 1908 as the University of Pittsburgh. The University became state-related in 1966.

Since its founding 226 years ago, the University of Pittsburgh has established itself as the most comprehensive educational complex in the region. It provides a wide range of academic programs and services for the Pittsburgh metropolitan area’s population of 2.4 million. With an enrollment of nearly 35,000 students, the University is one of the largest institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania. Supporting the needs and interests of the University are more than 13,300 faculty, research associates, and staff. University-related spending is $1.74 billion annually, making an important economic impact on the area economy.

The University comprises five campuses. The 132-acre Pittsburgh Campus is located in Oakland, which is the city of Pittsburgh's cultural and medical center. The University’s four regional campuses are located in western Pennsylvania - in Johnstown, Greensburg, Titusville, and Bradford. More than 100 academic, research, and administrative buildings, and residence halls are located on the Pittsburgh Campus. Pitt’s University Library System is the 22nd-largest academic library system in North America. In FY 2012, the University’s 25 libraries and collections surpassed 6.6 million volumes.

The Swanson School of Engineering Since 1846, the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has developed innovative processes and designs that have shaped our state, our country, and our world. Swanson School faculty and students are on the forefront of developing solutions to create a better future and continue its founding commitment to industrial, electrical, and mining engineering, the fields the world relies on for its energy and raw materials. The Swanson School also focuses on our health, our planet, and the ingenuity that keeps us competitive with recognized programs in bioengineering, sustainability, and energy. Nanotechnology, manufacturing, and product innovation are also critical strategic initiatives.

The Swanson School of Engineering prepares graduates through actual experience to enter exciting careers in advanced research and industry. Students find their place in the workforce through our established co-op program and working partnerships with engineering’s top companies. Our faculty and staff represent countries around the world and are internationally recognized for providing excellent educational programs, for conducting cutting edge research, and for creating the partnerships that shape the industry. International experience in engineering is a core component of the academic curriculum, with study abroad programs offered in South America, Europe, and Asia.

The mission of the Swanson School of Engineering is to produce highly-qualified engineers and useful creative research and technology through academic excellence. The faculty and staff at the Swanson School of Engineering are recognized for providing excellent educational programs, for conducting leading edge research, and for creating innovative industrial partnerships.

History The University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering has a long and distinguished history. The earliest engineering courses at Pitt were established in response to the growth of Western Pennsylvania during the early industrial revolution, with the first degrees of “Engineer” awarded in 1846, thereby establishing Pitt as the nation’s sixth earliest engineering program.

The involvement of Pittsburgh industry in the years surrounding the Civil War transformed a regional industrial base into one with strong international significance, and the University responded to the need. In 1868, specialized degrees in Civil and Mechanical Engineering were initiated, with Mining Engineering following in 1869, and Electrical Engineering in 1890. In 1909, the Department of Metallurgical Engineering was established, followed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the world’s first Department of Petroleum Engineering in 1910. Also in that year, the School created one of the nation’s first undergraduate Cooperative Education Programs. Pitt Engineering’s tradition of innovative programming resulted in the establishment of one of the nation’s first Industrial Engineering Departments in 1921. The most recent department, Bioengineering, was established in 1998.

Among the many prominent individuals associated with the early history of the School were Samuel Pierpont Langley and Reginald A. Fessenden. Langley, who is credited with developing the engineering science of aerodynamics during his 24 years at Pitt, designed the first heavier-than-air craft capable of flight and greatly influenced the Wright Brothers. Fessenden, brought to Pittsburgh by George Westinghouse as the first electrical engineering department head, obtained more than 300 patents. Through his pioneering studies with voice transmission, he is now credited with being the “Father of Radio” and made the first broadcast of the human voice in 1906.

Throughout the 20th century the School of Engineering continued its growth, and moved to a new Engineering Hall in the 1950s. This was also accompanied by the institution of new programs such as international education to strengthen the academic experience of engineering students. As the student population continued to grow, the University developed plans for a larger facility and commissioned the construction of Benedum Hall of Engineering, in honor of a grant from the Benedum Foundation. Benedum Hall was completed in 1971. The 1990s saw the emergence of new centers of excellence which promoted cross-disciplinary infrastructure between departments, as

well as the launch of the new bioengineering program and the Center for Biotechnology and Bioengineering at the Pittsburgh Technology Center, on the former site of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill Complex in nearby Hazelwood.

Engineering 21st-Century Success In 2007, the School became the Swanson School of Engineering after a landmark event: John A. Swanson (PhD ’66), founder of ANSYS Inc., made the largest individual philanthropic commitment in the history of the University of Pittsburgh at that time. As a result of his remarkable generosity, the Board of Trustees presented a formal resolution on February 29, 2008 and announced the changing of the school’s name to the John A. Swanson School of Engineering. His gift, along with that of John C. “Jack” Mascaro (BSCE '66, MSCE '80), founder and president of Mascaro Construction Company, enabled a multi-year transformation of Benedum Hall into a building with more open labs and “smart” classroom space, enabling greater collaboration between faculty and students.

A new three-story annex that connects to Benedum Hall was completed in 2009 and is home to the Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation as well as labs, classrooms and the new Bevier Library. In 2012 the Swanson School received a $22 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation - one of the largest private foundation grants in Pitt’s history. The gift will accelerate the research and education efforts of the Center for Energy, create new faculty positions and graduate fellowships, and establish a fund for spurring innovative research on a newly designated Energy Floor in Benedum Hall.

Later in 2012 the Swanson School exceeded its $180 million campaign goal and announced that over $200 million had been reached. The goal was part of the University of Pittsburgh’s comprehensive $2 billion campaign, which was also reached in 2012. The funds will enable the full transformation of the Swanson School of Engineering, both physically and academically, and establish it as one of the leading engineering programs in the world.

In 2013 the Swanson School led a University effort to create a joint institute with one of China’s premier engineering schools. The Sichuan University Pittsburgh Institute will enroll its first class in fall 2014. Pitt is one of only five U.S. universities to have entered into a large-scale partnership agreement with a university in China; the others are Carnegie Mellon University, Duke University, New York University, and the University of Michigan.

Sichuan University will initially invest nearly $40 million to support the construction and equipping of a new 100,000-square-foot building to house the institute on its campus. With emphases on advanced sustainable manufacturing and educational innovation, the institute will initially offer three undergraduate degree programs: industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science and engineering. Students in the institute will be recruited from the United States, China, and possibly other countries, with the first class in fall 2014 expected to comprise 100 students. Within seven years, enrollment is projected to grow to a final total of 1,600.

Students will spend the first two years of the program immersed in the Pitt curriculum in China with the option of transferring to Pitt’s main campus during their third year in the program. Students who transfer to Pitt directly after their sophomore year will earn a bachelor’s degree from both Sichuan University and Pitt, and all students will receive an institute certificate upon completion of their studies. Qualified students will also be able to continue their graduate studies at Pitt.

Swanson School of Engineering Special Academic Programs First Year Engineering Academic Program – Integrated Curriculum The School of Engineering’s First Year Engineering Academic Program consists of a welldesigned series of integrated courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering. All engineering first year students pursue this common, integrated core, which includes an honors component for the most academically gifted students. The two specially designed engineering courses (ENGR 0011 and 0012) not only introduce students to basic engineering skills and problem formulation and solving methodologies, but also provide an overview of the various engineering disciplines. A unique aspect of the program is the integration of instructors from the English Writing Center and the School of Engineering Bevier Library staff into the first year coursework. As a result, students complete two major writing projects: a first semester paper describing in-depth an area of engineering that the student is interested in as a possible major and a second semester paper that is part of the professionally run Annual Freshman Engineering Conference, in which all first year engineering students participate. This later paper must be on a relevant engineering topic and include a discussion about sustainability. Student papers are arranged into sessions chaired by professional engineers. Session chairs meet with the students during the semester, critiquing the developing papers and offering suggestions for improvement.

First year engineering students also participate in a two-term engineering seminar (ENGR 0081 and 0082), conducted in part by upper class peer advisors. These seminars provide general information on the transition to college, the improvement of study skills, and an overview of the various engineering fields. Moreover, students are given several opportunities to visit the various programs to discuss with faculty their anticipated program of study.

In addition to these opportunities, the First Year Engineering Program office provides career and academic advising, workshops, and assistance with the Engineering Living Learning Community which is located in Forbes Hall. Special programming is also conducted in Sutherland Hall, the LLC for first year honors students.

Honors Options A selected number of outstanding students are offered the opportunity to take ENGR 0711 instead of ENGR 0011 during the Fall Term. This accelerated course covers the two-course sequence in one term, enabling students to choose from two special courses in the Spring Term: • ENGR 0712 provides an opportunity to learn mathematical modeling and research methodologies with one of the School’s most distinguished faculty • ENGR 0715 provides students with an opportunity to apply engineering methodologies in a service learning environment with local organizations.

ENGR 0715 Engineering Applications for Society is a unique, rewarding learning experience for first year engineering students who have completed the prerequisite ENGR 0711 Honors Engineering Analysis and Computing Fall semester course. The course provides a “Service Learning” experience through which students learn and develop valuable skills necessary to succeed as an engineer by solving a real problem of value to a local community organization.

The goal for this course is to create a win-win experience for both the students and the community organizations. In return for their participation in the students’ educational process, the

16

community organizations benefit by having a problem of value addressed or “solved” by the students.

Not only are the students rewarded by the satisfaction of solving a real problem of value to their community, but through this experience they learn many personal and professional skills that cannot be learned in a traditional engineering curriculum. In particular, they learn that solving problems as an engineering professional truly involves more than the equations learned in classrooms where the answers can be found at the end of a book.

International Programs The Swanson School of Engineering has been one of the first engineering programs in the country to recognize the increasingly international dimensions of engineering practice. To us, this not only means that a large proportion of our graduates must be prepared for overseas assignments, some of which may be of long duration, but it also means that a substantial portion of engineering work will continue to be sent offshore to technically competent engineering graduates who demand salaries that are considerably less than current US salaries. The implication is clear – US engineering education will have to change if our graduates are to remain competitive in the market place and bring value beyond their technical skills.

Consequently, a major long-range objective has been to create a broad, coordinated program of international opportunities for our students that enable them to learn to work as engineers in cross-cultural environments. This suggests creating a variety of courses and exchanges, including some in which Pitt engineering students join international students in design projects working both virtually and on-site.

Swanson School students have the option to choose to study abroad for a semester, a summer, or as part of a short-term program (of four weeks or less), as well as to participate in an international research experience, internship, or service learning project.

Much of our success is due to the Swanson School partnering with the International Business Center and the College of Business Administration. We have also worked closely with the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), its area studies centers, and especially the University’s Study Abroad Office. These partnerships have resulted in several successful initiatives, several of which are outlined below: The Plus3 Program - The “Plus 3” program is for rising sophomores. It builds upon material covered in Managing Complex Environments for CBA students and ENGR 0012 for engineering students. The School of Engineering has participated actively for the past several years, sending both faculty and students abroad. The three-credit course begins with four preparatory class sessions in March and April, followed by a two-week study trip in early May, then ends with each student team presenting a final report in early September. During the two-week trip, business and engineering students work in teams as they make a number of company visits and prepare a report on a particular industry. Pitt students also have an opportunity to interact with local students, hear guest lectures and make several cultural visits while in the host country. Each trip is led by a faculty member accompanied by a support staff from Engineering, the College of Business Administration, or the University Center for International Studies (UCIS). The Plus3 program aims to cultivate interest in foreign language study and future study abroad. This is particularly important for engineering students, as the discipline has traditionally been less well-represented due to time constraints imposed by strict curriculum requirements. The Plus3 model has been so successful that the University of Pittsburgh has adopted it to create “Integrated Field Trips Abroad,” now a component of courses across the university curriculum. The Plus3 Program received the 2005 Institute for International Education’s Heiskell Award for innovation in study abroad.

Cooperative Education Program (Co-Op) The co-op program had a strong year. The year ended with a total of 878 active students, including 847 undergraduates and 31 graduate level co-ops. This number represents an increase from the prior year’s 812 students, demonstrating 8% growth. New placements for the year rose 18.5%, from 308 new placements in 2011-2012, to 365 students in 2012-2013. Our company participation rose to over 250 employers. The program also showed an increase in the diversity of our student participants. Our postgraduate survey of BS level students entering the workforce reported that 49% of the co-ops received fulltime offers from their companies, and 85% of those students accepted. The average starting salary for a co-op who graduated and entered the work force was $60,593. The average GPA of a graduate who participated in co-op was 3.345. The report shows 95% placement of the co-op engineering graduates, based on a 98% response rate. There was 100% placement among the computer science co-op graduates, computer engineering graduates and chemical engineering graduates who responded to the survey.

Our Co-op Employer of the Year for 2012 was Siemens Energy, a long-time supporter of the Swanson School of Engineering and co-op program. Their very well organized, meaningful and successful program has benefitted a number of our students, with several going to work full-time with Siemens upon graduation. We are looking forward to expanding our Siemens relationship and congratulate them for this honor.

Our Co-op Student of the Year was Lauren Sakerka. Lauren spent four semesters with BASF in Monaca, Pa and made significant contributions in the plant, particularly in terms of process cycle time analysis and review. She developed an analysis tool that when implemented, will save the company significant dollars. Lauren was also active on the safety committee and on campus was the budget manager for a project in Mali through Engineers without Borders.

Our goals for the 2013-2014 year will be to increase our number of student and employer participants while retaining the quality of our program. We particularly look to expand the program in the areas of bioengineering and chemical engineering due to the expansion of student participation from those areas.

Sustainable Engineering Undergraduate Research Program through Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation The Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) is a center of excellence in sustainable engineering focusing on the design of sustainable neighborhoods.

They spend four preparatory weeks in Pittsburgh before traveling to Brazil to spend the four weeks in residence at UNICAMP in Brazil. They return to spend the final four weeks in Pittsburgh.

21

Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is an internally supported program aimed at providing talented students with creative opportunities that go beyond the engineering classroom curriculum and enables students to develop their own ideas and work independently on hands-on research projects in sustainable engineering with advice and guidance from a faculty mentor.

Pre-College and Undergraduate Diversity Programs The Swanson School of Engineering implements programming that promotes and supports the academic excellence of high achieving pre-college and undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. INVESTING NOW is the pre-college diversity program and Pitt EXCEL is the undergraduate diversity program.

These two initiatives provide a continuous pipeline for students from groups traditionally underrepresented to prepare for, enter and graduate from the University of Pittsburgh as STEM majors.

INVESTING NOW Created in 1988, INVESTING NOW is a college preparatory program designed to stimulate, support and recognize the high academic performance of pre-college students from groups that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and careers. The purpose of the program is to ensure that participants are well prepared for matriculation at the University of Pittsburgh. The primary goals are to 1) create a pipeline for well-prepared students to enter college and pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors; 2) encourage and support students’ enrollment and achievement in advanced mathematics and science courses; 3) ensure that the participants make informed college choices; 4) support and encourage parents in their roles as advocates for their children; and 5) coordinate partnerships between the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering and local and regional schools.

INVESTING NOW recruitment, which focuses on eighth grade students, takes place in the spring of each academic year. However, membership involves a student commitment to attend year-round programming from ninth through twelfth grade. Some of the student activities include academic advising, tutoring, hands-on science and engineering workshops, college planning sessions, summer enrichment classes and SAT preparation. Approximately 226 students, including the 2013 graduates and the newly admitted eighth grade students, participated in the INVESTING NOW program during the 2012-2013 academic year.

In 2013, 27 INVESTING NOW students graduated from high school. 15% of those students currently attend the University of Pittsburgh main campus. 100% of the graduating class enrolled in college for 2013-2014. In addition, 85% of the students are majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields at various colleges and universities.

Pitt EXCEL Program Pitt EXCEL is a comprehensive program committed to the recruitment, retention and graduation of academically excellent undergraduates, particularly individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field. Program activities include academic counseling, tutor and study sessions, engineering research and mentoring opportunities, graduate school preparation and career development workshops, as well as a two-week intensive chemistry, math, physics and study skills review session for pre-freshmen entitled the Summer Engineering Academy. Brief descriptions of the major programs sponsored by Pitt EXCEL are highlighted below:

22

Summer Research Internship (SRI) Each year, selected Pitt EXCEL students participate in a nine-week Summer Research Internship (SRI) Program. Students are assigned to faculty mentors who lead research teams. Each student meets regularly with Pitt EXCEL academic counselors to review daily journals, discuss progress, and collaboratively discover innovative solutions to engineering problems. The primary objective is for students to develop a positive relationship with a role model in their discipline of engineering. Additional objectives for facilitating a mentoring partnership include: personal and career guidance; access to the professional community; and guidance that will ease the transition from school to work or undergraduate to graduate school. There were nine students and nine faculty mentors involved in the 2013 Summer Research Internship Program.

Summer Engineering Academy The Summer Engineering Academy is a two-week residential program for incoming engineering students that enables them to make a smooth transition from high school to college. During the program, students learn essential study skills for college and receive an intensive review of chemistry, math and physics concepts, with an introduction to engineering problem solving. There were 26 incoming first year engineering students who participated in the 2013 Summer Engineering Academy class; this number included fourteen females and twelve males.

Undergraduate Enrollment The School continues to have measurable success in the education of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of engineering. Figures from the beginning of academic year 2012-2013 indicate that there are approximately 173 ethnically underrepresented (African American, Hispanic and Native American) students enrolled, representing 7.0% (173/2468) of the undergraduate student body in the School and 2.2% (55/2468) multiracial undergraduate students. Female students represent 23.3% (576/2468) of the undergraduate student body.

Undergraduate Graduation 30 ethnically underrepresented students (28 African Americans, one Hispanic, and one Native American) graduated from the Swanson School of Engineering during the 2012-2013 school year, representing 6.4% (30/472) of the graduates for the year. Three multi-racial students graduated, representing 0.6% (3/472) of the graduates. In addition, 100 women graduated during the year, representing 21.2% (100/472) of all graduates.

Diversity Graduate Engineering Initiatives The Engineering Office of Diversity (EOD) also administers the Diversity Graduate Engineering Initiatives to recruit traditionally underrepresented students into graduate engineering education through partnerships with student organizations, graduate research experience, and Diversity graduate fellowships and scholarships.

23

Graduate Diversity Fellowships: The EOD has implemented an aggressive strategy to recruit underrepresented graduate students, expand college visits and widen fellowship opportunities. With the support of the Office of the Dean, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Chancellor, the University of Pittsburgh is a member in the National GEM (Graduate Engineering Minority) Consortium. The GEM Consortium program awards fellowships designed to offer opportunities for undergraduate students to obtain M.S. and PhD degrees in engineering through a program of paid summer internships and graduate financial assistance. One GEM Fellow is continuing her work in Bioengineering.

Nine K. Leroy Irvis Fellows are continuing their studies in 2013-14; six in Bioengineering, two in Mechanical Engineering, and one in Industrial engineering. Two K. Leroy Irvis fellowships have been given for 2013-2014; one to a Bioengineering student and one to an Electrical and Computer Engineering student. One Irvis fellow graduated with an MS from Mechanical Engineering summer 2013. The Dean’s Graduate Diversity TA continues to be a positive incentive to departments that make best efforts in the recruitment of students from diverse backgrounds. Eight terms have been given for the 2013-14 year to departments: Bioengineering received 3; Chemical and Petroleum Engineering received 2; Electrical and Computer Engineering received 1; and Industrial Engineering received 2.

Statistical Performance Measures Graduate Enrollment and Graduation: The School of Engineering has had success in increasing the numbers of female and underrepresented students enrolled in its MS and PhD programs.

Research Facilities, Centers and Institutes The strength and diversity of the Swanson School of Engineering’s research centers and institutes reflect the inter-relationship and often complementary nature of faculty research activities.

The concept of centers and institutes within the University and the Swanson School of Engineering takes advantage of this natural grouping process, thereby producing synergistic interactions that enhance the faculty research capabilities. Consequently, the scope of research that can be addressed by any group of faculty is expanded significantly. The students who participate in center and institute research have a unique opportunity to be involved in important projects throughout their graduate experience. Furthermore, centers and institutes represent an attractive opportunity for corporate and agency sponsorship of both basic and applied research. There are a number of centers and institutes that exist in the University and the Swanson School of Engineering and several that are in various developmental stages. The following are brief descriptions of existing centers and institutes.

The Michael L. Benedum Hall of Engineering Students enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering receive their education in the Michael L. Benedum Hall of Engineering which houses most of the Swanson School of Engineering’s administrative offices, classrooms, and research laboratories. The building complex is named in honor of Michael L. Benedum, a pioneer in the oil industry and co-founder of the Benedum Trees Oil Company. A grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation enabled the University to purchase land on the Oakland Campus, and the Michael L. Benedum Hall of Engineering was dedicated in 1971. Typically referred to as Benedum Engineering Hall, it consists of a 15-floor Tower, a 2-story Auditorium and the 3-story Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation (MCSI) annex. The MCSI annex was constructed under an $8.5M gift from Engineering alumnus Jack C. Mascaro (BSCE ’66, MSCE ’80), founder of Mascaro Construction, and was dedicated in 2009 as part of a $150M renovation of Benedum Engineering Hall. This total renovation, begun in 2008 and scheduled for completion in 2015, provides students and faculty with modern, world-class facilities for teaching and research activities. The School was named the Swanson School of Engineering in 2007 in honor of Engineering alumnus John A. Swanson (PhDME ’66), founder of ANSYS, Inc., following his $41.3M gift of to the University and numerous previous gifts to the School.

Interdisciplinary University of Pittsburgh Centers Involved with the Swanson School of Engineering Biomedical Science Tower 3 (BST3) In the fall of 2005, the University of Pittsburgh formally opened the newly constructed, stateof-the-art Biomedical Science Tower 3 (BST3), adjoining research facilities and UPMC clinical facilities as well as the medical school’s Scaife Hall. BST3, one of the most advanced research facilities of its kind, houses more than 50 laboratories occupied by approximately 500 scientists, graduate students, technicians, and support staff. Among the programs housed in BST3 are: • Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) • Center for Vaccine Research in Biodefense and Emerging Infections

26

• • • • • • •

Department of Computational Biology Department of Neurobiology Department of Structural Biology Developmental Biology Drug Discovery Institute Pittsburgh Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (PIND) Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Center Regional Biocontainment Laboratory

The Department of Bioengineering occupies approximately 5,500 of BST3’s 331,000 square feet, in close proximity to other research groups. The 10-story structure was built to stand as a national model for how modern laboratory space should promote interaction among scientists, foster more fruitful collaborations, and adapt to ever-changing research demands and priorities. Bioengineering research at BST3 includes applications of microtechnologies to explore cell polarity during vertebrate cell differentiation, cell and tissue mechanics during vertebrate development, biomaterials for neural prostheses and tissue regeneration, and unraveling how neural circuits transform sensory inputs into motor commands. The three laboratories conducting this work are summarized below.

Neural Tissue Electrode Interface and Neural Tissue Engineering Laboratory (NTE) This laboratory is under the direction of Tracy Cui, PhD. The primary research focus is on the interactions between neural tissue and smart biomaterials and biosensors. Research projects include neural prostheses biocompatibility, central nervous system biochemical sensing and drug delivery, neural stem cells and neural tissue engineering. The NTE lab provides a cross-discipline interface that brings bioengineer, neurobiologist, stem cell biologist and neurosurgeon together for rapid scientific discovery and therapeutic advancement. Multi-disciplinary research and training experiences are offered to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and undergraduate students. The facility has all essential equipment to carry out biomaterial fabrication, electrochemistry, cell culture, animal surgery, in vitro and in vivo neurophysiology, histology and fluorescent imaging.

Morphogenesis and Developmental Mechanics Laboratory This laboratory is directed by Lance Davidson, PhD, and seeks to understand the rules and principles of self-assembly used by embryos during early development and to apply those principles to direct the self-assembly of engineered tissues. This research uses a number of techniques ranging from classical embryology to cell and molecular biology to cell and tissue biomechanics. The laboratory is equipped with a range of imaging tools from stereo-dissecting microscopes to laser scanning confocal microscopes. The group develops custom cell biological protocols and biophysical and biomechanical devices such as microaspirators, uniaxial unconstrained compression devises, and microstretchers to characterize the mechanical properties of small extremely soft biomaterials and to investigate the roles of mechanics during embryogenesis. Ongoing collaborations across a range of disciplines is seeking to extend systems biology approaches to investigate both chemical and mechanical processes driving development and to apply this knowledge to forward-engineer the patterning and shaping of novel 3D tissue structures.

Sensory-Motor Integration Laboratory This laboratory is under the direction of Aaron Batista, PhD. The lab's research goal is to design next-generation neural prostheses that can allow paralyzed individuals to control computers and robotic arms. The laboratory provides a cross-disciplinary training experience (neurophysiology, engineering, and computational analysis) for graduate students, undergrads, and postdocs. The lab features two state-of-the-art experimental rigs. During experiments, monkeys are placed into an

27

immersive virtual reality environment. Via a multielectrode array, the animals' intentions are decoded from neural signals in motor cortex, and are used to steer a computer cursor to a specified goal.

Equipment includes a 100-channel electrode amplifier, custom-built Labview-based software for rendering the visual stimuli and recording data, and trackers for the animals' arms and eyes. Students are involved in designing novel brain-computer interface algorithms, testing them experimentally, and conducting multidimensional statistical analyses. Currently, we are identifying the principles that will make neural prostheses accurate, reliable, and comfortable for the user.

Center for Assistive Technologies The Center for Assistive Technologies in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences is comprised of rehabilitation engineers, physical and occupational therapists, and technicians which closely collaborate with a regional and national network of physicians, vocational counselors, educators, physical and occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, rehabilitation technicians, consumers, and advocates in the provision of assistive technological services.

The functional role of hepatic polyploidization is unclear. Dr. Duncan recently showed that regenerating polyploid hepatocytes undergo specialized cell divisions to form aneuploid daughter cells, generating a high degree of genetic diversity within the liver. Active studies in the lab involve elucidating mechanisms that control hepatic polyploidy and aneuploidy, as well as how these processes affect human disease. Dr. Duncan graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel with a B.S. in Biology in 1996. He attended graduate school at Duke University where he earned a Ph.D. in 2005.

For analysis, we use batteries of behavioral tests, as well as non-invasive imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Secondly, we intend to repair brain damage by implantation of neural stem cells and are also developing in situ tissue engineering strategies (i.e. combining multiple types of cells with biomaterials). Thirdly, we are developing non-invasive imaging strategies that allow us to visualize the location and survival of implanted cells, but will also afford the in vivo monitoring of the replacement of brain tissue. Lastly, we plan to integrate the analysis of the cytoarchitectural organization of the brain by histology with post-mortem MRI. The hope is that these research directions will eventually lead to better therapies for patients with stroke, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.

This integrative approach provides reinforcing insights and novel avenues for exploration into the basic signaling pathways as well as functioning of whole organism. As a model system, we explore motility signaling from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in adherent cells. EGFR plays a central role in the functioning in a wide variety of both stromal and epithelial tissues, and is the prototype for other receptors with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Thus, these studies should have widespread implications.

At Criticare he led a team to develop pulse-oximeter, non-invasive blood pressure monitor (NIBP), and IR anesthetic gas monitor which are now the standard of care in hospitals and clinics around the world.

Tamas S. “Tom” Tanto, BSCE ’67 President Tanto International Golf Tom Tanto is an icon in the golf industry world-wide. Shortly after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in 1967, an opportunity to build a local golf course in Murrysville, PA caught Tom’s interest.

Upon its completion, Tom founded Tanto Construction & Supply and the rest is history. He has built and/or worked on over 350 golf courses around the world. From Augusta to Dubai to Moscow, he has worked on 25 of the top 100 courses in the world. At Augusta National Golf Club he worked on course projects for 12 consecutive years. Recently, he sold his company in the United States, but continued to work as a consultant for the new owner of Tanto Irrigation, LLC. Meanwhile, he founded Tanto International Golf Limited, and presently is involved with course projects in Dubai, Hungary, and Jordan.

Tom has worked on, and consulted with, many of the best-known golf course architects including Rees Jones, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Fazio, Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer. He has served as a consultant nationally and internationally for the Toro Company for the past 30 years.

Interestingly, Tamas “Tom” Tanto was born and raised in Hungary during World War II and the Soviet

238

occupation of Iron Curtain countries. He came to the United States in 1957 unable to speak English. He settled in the South Hills of Pittsburgh with a family who directed him to the University of Pittsburgh. He worked for a local engineering firm while attending college, and for Dravo Corporation after graduation.

Tom is owner and director of the Pittsburgh area course named Totteridge, a course that he built in 2000.

Golf Digest currently ranks Totteridge at 19th in the state and among the best in western Pennsylvania.

This formerly displaced immigrant feels blessed to be an American. He is proud of his career. Tom is indebted to so many people including the School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh for giving him a chance. He now wants to pay back. When he is not traveling around the world, Tom resides in a 150 year-old restored historical home near Greensburg, Pennsylvania with Susan, his wife of 47 years.

They have two children and four grandchildren.

Alvin L. Hillegass, BSEE ’49 Retired President and Chief Executive Officer Camp Hill Corporation Retired Group Vice President-Steel U.S. Steel Alvin L. “Al” Hillegass played a key role in the iron and steel industry starting in his hometown of McKeesport, PA at U.S. Steel’s former National Works. Mr. Hillegass graduated from McKeesport High School in 1944 and received an athletic scholarship to Auburn University. However, like most his age he was called to serve in World War II in the U.S. Navy. Following his navy service he enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh where he earned his BSEE in 1949. He later earned a Masters in Business from Indiana University. Mr. Hillegass had a 33 year career with U.S. Steel rising to the position of Group Vice President-Steel, with overall responsibility for steel operations, sales, engineering and research.

Following a successful U.S. Steel career, Mr. Hillegass joined with Pat Campana to form Camp-Hill Corp. that went on to purchase and restart three shut down pipe manufacturing facilities. All are still operating today. They have subsequently been acquired as operating facilities by new owners. Mr. Hillegass is now retired and continues investing in entrepreneurial projects.

Venkatesh “Venki” Padmanabhan, MSIE ’87, PhD IE ’91 Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer English Indian Clays Limited Dr. Venki Padmanabhan took over as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of English Indian Clays Limited, a 50 year old minerals and starch intermediates, $80 million company in the $600 million Karan Thapar Group in March of 2013. Prior to this he joined Royal Enfield (100 year old British single brand, in India for more than 50 years, $200 million division of $1 billion Eicher Group) as Chief Operating Officer in 2008 and rose to the position of Chief Executive Officer in 2011. During this time, with two successful launches of the Classic and Thunderbird single cylinder UCE based motorcycles, the company saw a three-fold increase in sales and twenty fold increase in profits. Royal Enfield now is a brand reborn and thriving in India. Prior to joining Royal Enfield, Dr. Padmanabhan was brought to India in 2007 as Managing Director to establish Chrysler Corporation’s first South East Asia Global Sourcing Centre in Chennai from which region Chrysler today sources close to $1 billion in automotive parts. Dr. Padmanabhan started his career at General Motors’ Warren Technical Center in 1989 where he served in positions of increasing responsibility in advanced manufacturing research, product engineering and plant manufacturing. In 1999 he got his first taste of Lean Manufacturing at GM’s turn-of-the-century Buick City Assembly Plant in Flint, Michigan assembling Buick Park Avenues and Pontiac Bonnevilles. During 2000-2004, he served as a Production Shift Leader in GM’s first in 15 years, Greenfield Assembly Plant at Lansing Grand River Assembly from where the Cadillac Brand was restored to its former glory with the successful launch of the CTS, SRX and STS. In 2004 he joined Daimler Chrysler’s (DCX) Chrysler

239

Division to support the integration of Lean Manufacturing in its diverse operations and was part of the team that got it to achieve double digit industry leading productivity improvements as reported by Harbour and Associates. The Productivity improvements needs of the Mercedes Car Division of DCX drew him to Stuttgart, Germany in 2006 where he worked at their Component, Powertrain and Assembly plants around Germany. Throughout his career he has experienced the agony and ecstasy of struggling to resuscitate fabled brands and businesses at General Motors, Chrysler, Mercedes and Royal Enfield. Dr. Padmanabhan completed his graduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh (PhD IE ‘91, M.S. IE ‘87) and undergraduate studies at Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi ( B.Sc. ME ‘85.)
