Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department Annual Report 2006

1

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: There is much good news to report regarding this past years activities in the Department. In the Fall we had 114 freshmen enroll in Chemical Engineering, 14 new graduate students arrived, and throughout the year 44 BS degrees and 18 PhD degrees were awarded. This past summer we welcomed two new faculty members, Jessica Winter and Andre Palmer. Jessica received her PhD from the University of Texas and then had a 2 year postdoc at Harvard University before joining us on July 1. Jessica’s research is related to nanobiotechnology as it relates to biosensor technology, cell and tissue engineering, and neural prosthetics. Andre received his PhD from Johns Hopkins and was a professor at Notre Dame for several years before joining us as an associate professor on September 1. Andre’s research interests include hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers for transfusion and cell culture applications and self-assembled therapeutic delivery systems. Andre and Jessica are chemical engineers who have among other attributes the ability to contribute to our teaching and research activities on the biomolecular side of the Department. Their arrival brings our faculty to seventeen individuals not counting the significant contributions made by emeritus professors Jack Zakin and Bob Brodkey. L. S. Fan was elected recently to the Academia Sinica of the Republic of China. This election for L. S. is at the level of the “National Academy” distinction and complements his election to the National Academy of Engineering several years ago. L. S. also was awarded a $1.6M grant from the Department of Energy for his research on the production of hydrogen from coal. Winston Ho, our second National Academy member received the AIChE Institute Award for Excellence in Industrial Gases Technology. Winston also received a $1M research grant from Shell Oil Company for his research related to fuel cell membranes. Jim Lee continued his success in bringing funding for interdisciplinary research to the university by receiving another multimillion dollar Third Frontier Program grant from the State of Ohio. In recognition of their bioengineering research accomplishments Jim Lee and S. T. Yang were elected to Fellowship in the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering. Finally I should say something about our progress on the new Koffolt building. This year saw completion of both a building feasibility study and a financial feasibility study. Both of these reports provide benchmark information crucial to moving the project forward at the university and both reports have been positively received. The building feasibility study by CO Architects of Los Angeles analyzed 4 sites and three building plans including options to build in stages. It looks like the top site contenders are our current site where old Koffolt would be replaced by a new building as well the site occupied by Boyd, Aviation and Johnston Laboratories which would be torn down to be replaced by our new building. It does not appear to be cost effective to renovate the present Koffolt Laboratories. A final


2

decision on the site will be made by the university. The architects also estimated costs for either option to be approximately $80M. Part of this cost has to come from non-state sources including alumni, corporations and foundations. In order to have confidence in the fund raising challenge put on the Department, the university asked that we complete a financial feasibility study. This was carried out by Benefactors Counsel, who tested a hypothetical $35M fundraising campaign for Koffolt Laboratories. Many alumni and friends of the Department were interviewed by the consultants. In the consultant’s final report two of their main conclusions were that we should scale our departmental challenge to $20M and that the university should provide us with a full-time fund raising professional. In this coming year we expect a decision on what building option we will aim for and we will be able to hire the fund raising professional. As you may know we have had a “National Committee for the Renovation and Expansion of Koffolt Laboratories” chaired by Bill Lowrie working on behalf of the department for close to three years now. The pace will pick up as soon as the building site is selected and the fund raising professional is on board. Best wishes from all our faculty, staff and students.

Professor L.S. Fan Elected to Academia Sinica

L.S. Fan, Distinguished University Professor and the C. John Easton Professor of Engineering, has been elected as an academician of Academia Sinica, Republic of China by the 27th Convocation of the Academy held in July, 2006, in Taipei, Taiwan. Academia Sinica, founded in 1928, is the most prominent academic institution in the Republic of China. Its major tasks are to undertake in-depth academic research on various subjects in the sciences and humanities, and to provide guidelines, channels of coordination, and incentives with a view to raising academic standards in the country.

Professor L. James Lee Awarded $9.25M in

Ohio Third Frontier Funding The Ohio State University, in partnership with the University of Dayton, will receive $8M in state funding to help develop durable and functional nanocomposite materials and processes. The State of Ohio announced the grants Dec. 15 as part of Ohio’s Third Frontier Engineering and Physical Science Research and Commercialization Program, for the development of next-generation nanomaterials and nanocomposites. The project is an extension of the Center for Multifunctional Nanocomposites and Devices (CMPND), a 2005 Wright Center of Innovation located at Ohio State. L. James Lee, director of CMPND and Helen C. Kurtz Chair of CBE, is the primary investigator for the research project. The newly developed processes will result in more durable and anti-fouling materials and can be applied to wind turbine, jet engines, safety vehicle panels and other uses. Collaborators on the project, which is expected to further advance innovations and apply them to new and expanded commercial ventures, include Ohio companies Owens Corning, WebCore, GE Aviation, Ashland Chemical, National Composite Center, and many more. Prof. Lee will also receive $1.25M as a collaborator in the Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center, a Wright Mega-Center for Innovation led by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF). CCF is the number one heart center in the U.S. for the twelfth consecutive year. Together with Prof. John Lannutti in OSU’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the latest advances in nanotechnology will be applied toward the treatment of cardiovascular disease using electrospinning and CO2 bonding technologies to produce affordable nanoscalar constructs that mimic human vascular tissue.

Shell Announces $1 Million in Support for Ohio State Energy Research

Shell has awarded $1 million to Professor Winston Ho for research related to hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company, announced the grant at a press conference on campus.

Ho’s research involves developing new polymer membranes that can withstand high temperatures and separate hydrogen from other gases, such as methane and hydrogen sulfide which are created when coal is converted to a type of synthetic natural gas. The hydrogen then could be used in fuel cells to power vehicles or in other portable devices.

The benefits of Ho’s work could lower the cost of hydrogen production while providing an alternative carbon dioxide and acid gas removal technology for Shell refineries and chemical plants, Hofmeister said. He estimated that while hydrogen has emerged as a key part of the solution for the world’s energy challenge, perfecting hydrogen as a commercially available, alternative fuel source could be a 20- to 50-year process.

OSU Selected For Hydrogen Research Funding The U.S. Department of Energy has announced funding for an Ohio State project that will promote the production of hydrogen from coal at large-scale facilities. The research project is one of six research and development projects selected by DOE to advance a central approach to combat climate change by allowing for the capture and subsequent sequestering of carbon dioxide generated during hydrogen production. The $1.6 million OSU project, led by Professor L.S. Fan, will develop a process to produce high-purity hydrogen from synthesis gas in a single-stage reactor. Pure hydrogen is a potential energy carrier for the future, and it may be produced from hydrogen-containing materials such as water and fossil fuels. Until other resources are available to produce hydrogen at lower costs, production from coal is the most economical source. Professor Fan and his team

Old Chemical Engineering building, the “sawtooth” facility formerly behind McPherson Labs

proposed and patented a method called “chemical looping” in which raw coal is converted into a synthetic gas, or “syngas” and then into pure hydrogen. The process would help to reduce the steps in producing hydrogen from coal, and in doing that would save costs of the production of hydrogen from coal.

Professor David Tomasko Named Director for Honors Collegium

Professor David Tomasko has been appointed as the Director of the Honors Collegium. Beginning October 1, 2006, David combined the directorship, a half-time post, with his faculty position. The Director provides leadership, planning and oversight for the Honors Collegium; represents the Collegium on campus and in national and international contexts; oversees the process for selecting students for membership; supervises Collegium student programming, courses and lectures; manages the development and coordination of a faculty mentoring network; and assists with fund raising efforts for the program. The director also oversees preparation of any students, whether members of the Collegium or not, who are aiming for major fellowships and scholarships such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Goldwater, and Fulbright. He will work with faculty and academic units to identify students for such competitions, and represent the Ohio State University in national and international forums focusing on these awards.

Professor Bakshi Returns from Sabbatical Professor Bakshi spent part of the Summer and Fall quarters on a research leave mainly at the Institute of Chemical Technology, University of Mumbai (UICT). He also traveled to conferences in Europe and Brazil. The goals of the leave were to catch up with many pending research articles that his group had been preparing, and to establish research contacts and collaborations in India. He was successful in establishing good contacts with researchers in Green Chemistry at UICT and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in Delhi. TERI is a premiere research and educational institute, and is working on understanding the broader economic and environmental implications of alternate transportation fuels such as biodiesel from Jatropha. This is closely related to Professor Bakshi’s own research on understanding the biocomplexity of transportation fuels and complements his work on corn ethanol and soy biodiesel. He also helped teach courses in Process Control and Material and Energy Balance Computations.

Staff News

The past year has seen several staff changes in the Department. Carl Scott, our Building Coordinator, retired at the end of 2006. He was replaced by David Cade, who has been in apartment maintenance for the last three years and has been in new and remodeling home construction all of his life. He says he looks forward to many years here at The Ohio State University. Lois Holliday came to the Department from Human Resources at The Ohio State University and will have HR responsibilities. She has been employed at OSU for five years as an Office Associate in Payroll Accounting. She has a strong background in accounting, payroll and office supervision.

Undergraduate Program Updates Curriculum Updates In response to assessment measures showing lack of flexibility in scheduling, the Department began to offer trailer sections of courses in the 2005-2006 school year. The trailer section for 764 (Capstone Design) was first offered spring 2005, while trailers for 420 (Transport, Fluids) and 521 (Transport, Heat) will be offered autumn 2005 and winter 2006, respectively. The recent addition of several new faculty members has made it possible to handle the increased teaching load that results from offering trailer sections, since in Chemical Engineering all core courses (and virtually all technical elective courses as well) are taught by full-time faculty. Providing trailer sections will make it significantly easier for students to schedule co-ops and internships. In order to also offer more flexibility, Unit Operations Lab is now being taught as a pilot for the second year over two quarters during the school year. ChBE 630 offered in Winter/Spring is identical to the Unit Operations Lab offered in the summer. The course enrollment will be limited to a maximum of fifteen students. The lab has been split into two quarters to cover all the material necessary to receive credit without interfering too much with the student’s senior year coursework. Denman Undergraduate Research Forum The Denman Undergraduate Research Forum is held annually in the Ohio Union. The Denman Undergraduate Research Forum provides a means for undergraduate students to share their research with members and friends of the OSU community; recognizes the significant contributions to research by OSU undergraduates; and facilitates exchange between students, faculty, and the public. Students enrolled in any undergraduate degree program at The Ohio State University are invited to participate, provided they are engaged in supervised research projects. There are twelve different areas of study represented at Denman. Engineering is one of those categories. Imogen Pryce took second place in the Engineering category with her presentation, “Development of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Technique with Emphasis on Utilization of By-products and Life Cycle Analysis.” Imogen’s advisor was Dr. Fan. She is attending Cal Tech pursuing a PhD. Other projects from Chemical Engineering undergraduates included: Engineering Eggshells for Carbon Dioxide Capture, Hydrogen Production, and as a Collagen Source Presenter: Theresa Vonder Haar Advisors: Dr. Liang-Shih Fan & Dr. Mahesh Iyer

Out of 31 competitors, our team recorded a 7th place finish (top quartile). The "traveling squad" for the Chem-E Car Team was: Adam Peter (Team President) Chad Bernard Sandy Abraham John Daulton Liz Curry (Safety Coordinator) The team took the "red-eye" flight back to Columbus on Sunday night so they would not miss any classes on Monday. A special thanks to Dow Chemical for the financial support in covering the air and lodging travel expenses. Internships & Cooperative Learning Experience Report Winter 2006 through Autumn 2006 The Engineering Cooperative Education & Internship Program (ECIP) helps undergraduate students to obtain career-related employment of two types: cooperative education (co-op) positions and internships. A co-op experience provides the best 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. 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. Engineering Career Services (ECS) welcomes all employers to register, to recruit Ohio State engineering students and graduates. There is no cost to register and no fees for ECS

Undergraduate Scholarship Awards The cost per year of an in-state student attending Ohio State approaches $17,000 with about half of that in tuition and still further increases can be expected. Trends in data from financial aid show that the number and amount of both student and, especially, parent loans has been increasing. Another trend is that while tuition has increased every year, so has the scholarship aid to our students. However, since the increase in scholarship support has not 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 part of the loan burden for many of our students.

Herb Fenburr, a 1934 graduate, was one of Joe Koffolt’s first students and a featured speaker at his retirement banquet.

The highest amount a student can receive from the department is about $3000 and the average department scholarship in 2006 was $1400 with about 120 scholarships awarded ($168,000). This is up from a total of about $148,000 in 2005. 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 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.

With Distinction in ChBE Hoi Ting Yeung B.S, Medical Technology, OSU Summer 2006 Graduates Charles Russell Benore; Magna Cum Laude Dow Chemical, TX Nathan Kyle Ford; Magna Cum Laude Still Looking Robert R Harman Halliburton, TX Engineering Career Services During the 2005-2006 year, 170 employers sought to hire BS-level chemical engineering students using one or more of the services provided by Engineering Career Services (on-campus recruiting, resume referrals for active candidates, on-line job postings, and access to the active candidates’ resume database). This represented a solid increase from the prior year’s total of 145 employers. Although on-campus recruiting activity declined from the very strong prior year, job postings increased by 116% and career fair attendance increased 30%. Reported co-op/intern work terms increased 16%, a welcome improvement, since relevant experience is a key factor in hiring decisions. In spite of a generally positive employment climate, a higher percentage of 2005-2006 BS graduates chose to pursue further education: 29% this year, vs. 13% in the prior year. By graduation, 43% of the BS graduates had reported career employment.


22

Thirty percent of the employed BS graduates stayed in Ohio; 57% left the state, and the remainder did not report a location. Employers who hired more than one graduate include Schreiber Foods (3), Procter & Gamble (2), Schlumberger (2), and Sunoco (2). Other successful employers included: Anheuser Busch, Babcock & Wilcox, Barr Laboratories, Cargill, DuPont, ExxonMobil, General Mills, the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, Owens-Illinois, Sherwin Williams, and the US Patent & Trademark Office. Of those reporting further education, 1 is pursuing veterinary medicine, 2 enrolled in medical school, 4 are pursuing ChE master’s degrees, and 6 ChE PhDs. 57% are staying at Ohio State; other institutions listed included Penn State, UC Santa Barbara, UT Austin, UW Madison, California Institute of Technology, and the Medical University of Ohio.

Special Activities Lowrie Lectures The 2006 Lowrie Lecturer was Dr. Alice P. Gast, Robert T. Haslam Professor of Chemical Engineering and the Vice President for Research and Associate Provost at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In her research she studies surface and interfacial phenomena, in particular the behavior of complex fluids. Some of her areas of research include colloidal aggregation and ordering, protein lipid interactions and enzymes reactions at surfaces. In 1997 she co-authored the sixth edition of “Physical Chemistry of Surfaces” with Arthur Adamson. She was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001 and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002. Dr. Gast was recently named President of Lehigh University. Her lectures were as follows: LECTURE I: Proteins and Enzymes at Membrane Interfaces Organization in colloidal, macromolecular and biological systems is driven by intermolecular interactions that can be mediated by the solution conditions. An understanding of the intermolecular forces governing protein assembly on and within model membranes will help elucidate the physical processes governing cell membranes. The ordering of proteins in two-dimensions is of particular interest as a fundamental model of phase transitions and self-assembly. It is also a phenomenon found in nature on the surface of some bacteria and phages. We are studying the structure, morphology and dynamics of two-dimensional streptavidin crystals bound to lipid membranes. We show how changing the solution composition can alter the crystal structure and morphology. Producing these crystals on the surface of vesicles mimics the protein coats on cell surfaces. We see the influence of an ordered layer of proteins on the mechanical properties, permeability and shape of vesicles. LECTURE II: Chemical Engineering: Evolution and Innovation Chemical engineering has been a versatile discipline that has prepared its graduates for a wide variety of careers. Our core values in fundamental physics, chemistry and mathematics have served us well for decades. The recent surge in activity in interdisciplinary work has been very beneficial to chemical engineers who have excelled in many broad fields of research. In this seminar the opportunities and challenges facing chemical engineering departments in the coming decades will be discussed. The need to balance a strong core discipline while embracing interdisciplinary activities is also important and some developments in the chemical engineering research that can aid us in evolving our curriculum will be described. Finally to be mentioned is the growing context of the global workplace and the need to offer international opportunities to our students.

2006 Advisory Board Meeting The Advisory Board Meeting was held March 16, 2006. Participants included Rich Brandon, Ron Harris, Scott Joublanc, Bruce Martin, Karen Murphy, Nancy Dawes, Jack Hammond, Stuart Cooper, L.S. Fan, Barbara Wyslouzil, Jack Zakin, Michael Paulaitis, Winston Ho, Umit Ozkan, Jeff Chalmers, Bob Brodkey, John Corn, Marty Feinberg, and Mary Hoy. The meeting began with a Continental Breakfast at 8:30 and a welcome by Stuart Cooper at 9:00. Stuart discussed the undergraduate program and provided graduation and enrollment statistics. He then summarized the ABET visit which took place in October, 2005. Discussion then turned to the graduate program and Stuart said that enrollment was holding up reasonably well. The last item discussed was the feasibility study being

carried out by CO Architects. Stuart passed out Rosemary Hill’s material (Rosemary had to miss the meeting) and a brief discussion followed. Regarding employment, this year is turning out better than the past two years. Mary Hoy then spoke to the group about financial aid for our students. After a short break, Mary Hoy (filling in for Jim Rathman) spoke to the group about the first year program in the Department. She stated that approximately 1/3 of the current pre-major population and just under 1/3 of the upper class population are interested in pursuing the biomolecular option. Stuart then discussed

the ABET process (filling in for Jim Rathman) and stated that the emphasis of the process is on defining and assessing outcomes. L.S. Fan discussed the Provost’s Strategic Initiative relating to energy and nuclear energy is a theme of the proposal. Departmental participation in the energy proposal includes Professors Bakshi, Ozkan and Ho as well as Fan. The proposal is entitled “Energy Sustainability and the Environment.” Mike Paulaitis spoke to the Board about the Provost’s Strategic Initiative for the creation of a “Center for Cell Engineering.” Jeff Chalmers then spoke about the Biomolecular Option. The closing discussion centered on the need to maintain a strong balance between research and teaching. It was noted that the Department has a tradition of nurturing undergraduates and a tradition of teaching excellence, both of which need be maintained. The Committee suggested that perhaps the Board could review some of the survey data in order to provide feedback at future meetings. Stuart stated that he would make this an agenda item for the next meeting. The Committee felt that the basic CBE education serves industry well and that it is a quality education. It was also mentioned that the Department should continue with developing its strategic plan. The date for next year’s meeting will be Thursday, March 15, 2007. National Committee Meeting for the Renovation and Expansion of Koffolt Laboratories The meeting was held October 27, 2006. Participants included David Tomasko, Barbara Wyslouzil, Jessica Winter, Mike Paulaitis, Bob Brodkey, Stuart Cooper, Isamu Kuska, Jim Lee, Umit Ozkan, John Corn, Winston Ho, Jim Rathman, Jacques Zakin, Dean Baeslack, John Meyer, Richard Morse, Gary Woodward, Bill Lowrie, Mike Winfield, Larry Woodward, Paul Kienholz, David McCarthy, Laura McDonald, and Sharon Ferguson. Dean Baeslack provided greetings from the College and stated that the Koffolt renovation


39

is the COE’s number one priority. Richard Morse described the building feasibility study’s goals and findings. The study concluded that it would not be wise to try to remodel Koffolt and that various choices can be made considering sites, design possibilities and the option of a staged building process. The Capital Request process was next described. Draft requests were presented in July 2006 and finalized in late October. The requests will undergo a campus review and priority setting for about a 6 month period. The selected requests ultimately go to the Board of Trustees in September, 2007. The Benefactors Counsel carried out a fund raising feasibility study and shared its preliminary findings and recommendations. During their study they conducted 41 confidential interviews; 35 were OSU alumni and 29 were ChE alumni. They tested a goal of raising $35M toward the cost of the building and came away with a conclusion that it is more feasible to have a goal of $20M. They recommended that the department be assigned a full time development professional, that the National Committee continue its campaign oversight and that the Department and our committee continue to strive to build up our volunteer base.

Laura McDonald and Sharon Ferguson, representatives of the Benefactor’s Counsel, present the results of their fund raising survey.

1907 Chemical Engineering Grad was a Leader in the Domestic Products Industry Harry R. Drackett (B.Sc.Ch.E. 1907) helped to build one of the most successful American chemical manufacturing companies in the twentieth century. His father, Phillip Drackett, (a lifelong dabbler in chemistry) founded the company in 1910 as a brokerage of soda ash, caustic soda, chlorinated lime and denatured alcohol. Sons Harry (who had gained valuable experience with Proctor and Gamble) and Phillip Jr. joined the Cincinnati based firm in 1915, whereupon it was renamed P.W. Drackett and Sons. Phillip Drackett is best known as the inventor of Drano, a household name that was coined by his wife Sallie. Amongst his many achievements, Harry Drackett is credited with the invention of Windex in 1933. Originally a 100% solvent, it was flammable enough to require packaging in metal cans. After World War II, Windex was reformulated using modern surfactants and became the product we know today. Under his leadership, the company diversified into other areas, including soybean processing, with sales increasing steadily, rising to $27.7 million in 1948. A major part of this work was overseen by his son, Harry R. (Roger) Drackett Jr., who assumed the Presidency, following the death of his father. Bristol-Myers acquired the firm from the Drackett family in 1965 and sold it to S.C. Johnson in 1992 for $1.15 billion, which continues to market Windex to this day.

During his undergraduate period, Harry Drackett helped to found Sphinx, the senior men’s honorary society. An avid sportsman, he earned a place on the track team for three years and was a member of Varsity “O”. In the years following his graduation, he continued to serve his alma mater in numerous ways. As board chairman of the development fund, he helped to arrange funding for Baker and Canfield dormitories, the first residences built on campus since the 1920’s. He also served as chairman of the Alumni Board of Visitors, predecessor to the Alumni Advisory Board. President Howard Bevis appointed him to a committee charged with surveying the University’s organization program in 1941. The University acknowledged his lifelong contributions with an honorary Doctor of Science degree in 1943.

Harry Drackett died in 1948. The University Board of Trustees named “Drackett Tower” in honor of his memory in 1962.
