2011 Alumni D - Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering ...

2011 Annual Report

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department:
As I write this note it is a mild early January and a
demolition crew has just fi nished taking down the
four buildings (Boyd, Johnston, Aviation and Haskett)
which occupied the building site of our new building.
Th e Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and
Chemistry (CBEC) building, which will have the
Koff olt Laboratories name prominently displayed, is
on schedule. We are expecting groundbreaking this
summer with construction to start soon aft er.
Th is past year was one of continued growth and
opportunity for our department. Undergraduate
enrollment has continued to surge with the sophomore to
senior count at 517 and 116 B.S. graduates. Our graduate
student population is 89 with 9 Ph.D. degrees awarded.
Our overall research expenditures declined to $10.6M,
refl ecting the end of the wave of State of Ohio “Th ird
Frontier” funds that our faculty won in recent years.
Overall the productivity of our department in both
the spheres of undergraduate education and research
remained quite high. In the midst of the enrollment
surge Ohio State is preparing to convert to a semester
based academic schedule at the end of the summer. Th is
has required a substantial revamping of our curriculum
and the faculty, led by the Chair of our Curriculum
Committee, Jim Rathman, have made excellent progress
in getting ready for the change. We are also charged by
the university not to disadvantage any of our student’s
graduation progress in the transition, and we are working
hard to implement that goal.
Last year Martin Feinberg presented the Wilhelm
Lectures at Princeton University and Umit Ozkan was
selected as a Fellow in the American Chemical Society.
Umit was also appointed Distinguished Professor in the
College of Engineering. Jeff Chalmers and Umit Ozkan
won College of Engineering Lumley Research Awards
and Jim Rathman won the Macquigg Award.
Th e Macquigg Award was presented to Jim for his
“demonstration in a superior manner and interest in
and willingness to help students…and his outstanding
teaching ability.” Students in the College of Engineering
nominate and elect the Macquigg award recipients.
While we still have signifi cant fund raising challenges
to meet our goal to raise $17.5M for our share of the
new $126M CBEC building, there have been some
outstanding successes in the past year. Dow Chemical
pledged $1M to both Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering and Chemistry to name the 6th fl oor
student lounge and Jim and Pat Dietz pledged $1M to
name the Unit Operations Laboratory. Further details
on the new building are described later in the report.
Best wishes from all our faculty, staff and students.

Koff olt Laboratories
Th e planning for our new building is moving forward fairly smoothly. Th e site preparation
is, if anything ahead of schedule, with the demolition of Boyd, Johnston, Aviation
and Haskett completed as you can determine from a webcam view which can
be accessed from the department homepage. Th e groundbreaking ceremony for the
building will take place this summer with construction activity to begin shortly thereaft
er. So far we are within budget and slightly ahead of schedule. Our fund raising
eff ort, while far from complete, is progressing nicely and we have naming gift s for
several attractive spaces in the building. We have come a long way from the concept to
build a new Koff olt Laboratories which began nearly a decade ago, and we eagerly look
forward to occupying our superb new space at the end of 2014.

6th Floor Student Lounge
Named for Dow Chemical Company
Unit Operations Laboratory
Named for Jim & Pat Dietz
New Building Space Naming Gift s
Jim and Pat Dietz and Dow Chemical recently contributed naming gift s to the new
building.
“Every college graduate recalls certain parts of their college experience with a sense
of profound accomplishment. For most Chemical Engineering students at Th e Ohio
State University, that remembrance is likely to be Unit Operations lab. It is a teambuilding,
leadership experience unlike any other in the curriculum. Pat and I are
extremely proud to be associated with such a critical element in the training and
development of future OSU CBE grads.” Jim Dietz (‘69)
Th e Dow Chemical Company has a long term relationship with Ohio State and
especially with the Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
and Chemistry. Th e interactions have involved joint research activities and the
recruitment of undergraduate and graduate students for employment opportunities
throughout the United States. Dow Chemical representatives Rich Brandon and Tom
Burns, both CBE alumni, have been recruiters for both undergraduate and graduate
student chemists and chemical engineers. Working with OSU for many years, they
facilitated the department’s proposal to the Dow Chemical Company Foundation for
a $1M gift to both departments. Th e departments and Dow Chemical have agreed
to name the 6th fl oor student lounge in the new building to commemorate this
generous gift . Darrell Zavitz, Dow Chemical Vice President, was also a key supporter
and contributor throughout the process. According to Brandon and Burns, “Over
the years, Dow has hired many outstanding undergraduate and graduate students
as well as numerous undergraduate interns and co-op students. OSU educated
chemists and chemical engineers have demonstrated an excellent, long term record
of accomplishment throughout the company. Dow’s excellent relationship with Ohio
State, the performance of OSU alumni and the recognized, world class research within
these departments, enabled our approach to the Dow Foundation to be well received.”

CBE Advising Team Gives
Semester Conversion Update
Brian Endres Holly Longman
Th e conversion to semesters has introduced
some challenges for the CBE advising team
but has also brought about some positive
changes. With more than 700 students
(majors and pre-majors) now pursuing a
degree in chemical engineering, Academic
Advising Coordinator Brian Endres and
Undergraduate Academic Advisor Holly
Longman have been challenged with the responsibility
of assuring that each student’s
progress towards completing the degree requirements is not hindered due to the
conversion. To aid in this process, Brian and Holly conducted help sessions during
the 2011 autumn quarter where they helped students better understand how the
curriculum has changed and the guiding principles behind why the changes were
made. Following the sessions, they began to meet individually with students or in
small groups to develop an individualized plan for each student. Th is allows each
student to not only plan ahead for their projected date of graduation but also to permit
time to complete co-op and internship opportunities or a study abroad experience.
Brian has also worked intimately with the department faculty on the development
of the semester curriculum and is helping upload all the new information on the
university’s and department’s computer systems and websites.
In order to better prepare students for success within the engineering disciplines, each
department within the College off ers a survey course during a student’s fi rst quarter
of enrollment where students learn the rules and responsibilities of being a student at
OSU, time management and study skills, and other helpful information related to their
fi eld of study. As the instructor of the course, Holly now has increased fl exibility under
semesters to determine the structure and format of the class, including the mode of
instruction: in-class, online, or a combination of both.
While these changes have required a signifi cant time commitment for Brian and Holly
in addition to their regular responsibilities, they both welcome this opportunity to
assist their advisees with their academic and professional goals and look forward to
seeing increasing numbers of our students graduate and launch their careers.

Dr. Ozkan is an expert in heterogeneous catalysis,
catalytic materials and their applications in
industrially relevant reactions, as well as those that
are important for energy and emission control. She
has made signifi cant contributions to the area of
oxidation catalysis, reduction of NOx emissions from
stationary combustion sources, fuel reformulation
and electrocatalyst development for fuel cells. Dr.
Ozkan has also made a signifi cant impact as a leader
in academic research administration and in many
professional societies. She has published more than
150 technical papers and edited 7 books on energy
and environmental catalysis. She has to date been
invited to present lectures 125 times in 25 diff erent
countries, which refl ects the reach of her outstanding research work. Dr. Ozkan
has continuously devoted her professional eff orts to the ACS Division of Petroleum
Chemistry (PTRL) since 1992 by participating in all aspects of the division. Finally,
she has impacted the lives of about 2000 students as a teacher, advisor, mentor and
role model.
Th e 2011 ACS Fellows were honored at a special ceremony during the ACS National
Meeting in Denver on Monday, August 29, 2011.
Appointed College of Engineering Distinguished Professor
Umit Ozkan has recently been appointed College
of Engineering Distinguished Professor, one of the
highest academic honors that can be bestowed on a
faculty member by the College of Engineering at OSU.
In addition to recognizing Dr. Ozkan’s many signifi cant
accomplishments including recently being named
Fellow of AIChE, ACS and AAAS, this appointment
recognizes her value to the College of Engineering and
to OSU. Dr. Ozkan received this appointment based
on her excellent performance in research, leadership,
teaching and mentorship.
Martin Feinberg, the Richard Morrow Professor
of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and
Professor of Mathematics, was selected to deliver the
highly prestigious 2011 Richard Wilhelm Lectures in
Princeton University’s Department of Chemical and
Biological Engineering. Th e lectureship is named
for a seminal fi gure in chemical engineering, and the
list of past winners is regarded as a “Who’s Who” of
modern chemical engineering. Delivered in October,
2011, Feinberg’s two Wilhelm lectures were entitled
Understanding Chemical Reaction Networks and Understanding Chemical Reactors.
Work by Feinberg and his students is truly interdisciplinary, sitting at the juncture of
chemical engineering, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Indeed, invitations to talk
about chemical reaction network theory come not only from chemical engineering
departments but also from a variety of disciplines. Recently, for example, Feinberg has
been a principal lecturer at conferences on Synthetic Biology in Zurich and in Groningen,
and he has been an invited speaker in biology departments at Harvard University,
Rockefeller University, and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Professor Feinberg has won several awards not only for research but also for teaching.
When he was at the University of
Rochester, he received the Edward Peck
Curtis Award for Teaching Excellence,
presented to just one professor each year
at commencement, and, very shortly
aft er his arrival at Ohio State, Feinberg
received the College of Engineering’s
Charles E. McQuigg Award for
Outstanding Teaching. For his work
on chemical reaction network theory
Professor Feinberg received the Richard
H. Wilhelm Award of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Jim Lee Develops New Gene Th erapy Method
Helen C. Kurtz Professor Jim Lee and colleagues
have developed a new method of gene
therapy, which they have named Nanochannel
Electroporation, also called NEP.
Lee says that NEP allows them to investigate how
drugs and other biomolecules aff ect cell biology
and genetic pathways at a level not achievable
by any other existing technique. Th is technique
uses electricity to send bits of therapeutic
biomolecules through a tiny channel and into a
living cell in a fraction of a second, as opposed to
using a needle.
Currently, this process only works on one or several cells at a time, but they are
developing a mechanical cell-loading system that would inject up to 100,000 cells at
once, which could make clinical and diagnostics and treatments possible. Lee says
that they hope NEP could become a tool for early cancer detection and treatment,
specifi cally in leukemia and lung cancer. He is working with researchers at the Ohio
State Comprehensive Cancer Center to explore these possibilities. With high cellloading,
NEP has potential for effi cient and safe cell reprogramming which is critical
for regenerative medicine.
Bhavik Bakshi Co-Edits New Book
Dr. Bhavik Bakshi, CBE Professor and Research Director of the
Center for Resilience, is co-editor of the recently published
book, Th ermodynamics and the Destruction of Resources. Th is
book applies fundamental thermodynamics to problems of
sustainability, energy, and resource use, and shows that some
of the proposed sustainable solutions can be more destructive
than the original problem. Both rigorous and readable, the book
will be useful to a variety of educational and professional audiences interested in green
engineering, industrial ecology, and sustainable manufacturing. Th e contributors are
leading international fi gures from many disciplines, including engineers, ecologists,
economists, physicists, chemists, and policy experts.
Bakshi is a recognized international expert on process systems engineering and
sustainability science, and is the creator of Eco-LCA, an advanced soft ware tool for
ecologically-based life cycle assessment.

Chemical Looping Pilot
Plant Design at the
National Carbon
Capture Center
Sponsored by the Department of Energy’s
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy and
Ohio Department of Development, Th e Ohio
State University will lead an eff ort to scale-up the
chemical looping technology to a 250-KW high
pressure pilot plant at the Department of Energy’s
National Carbon Capture Center in Wilsonville,
Alabama.
Partnering with Babcock & Wilcox Company,
Particulate Solid Research, Inc., CONSOL
Energy, Inc., Clear Skies Consulting LLC, and Air
Products and Chemical, Inc., the pilot plant will
begin construction this year. Th is demonstration will be the largest scale-up of the
chemical looping gasifi cation technology for hydrogen and electricity cogeneration
from coal and is directed by L.S. Fan (inventor of the process) along with his team
consisting of Ohio State post-doctoral research associates and graduate students.
Chemical looping dates back to the 1900’s with the steam iron process for hydrogen
generation. Although simple in its concept, chemical looping has not been
commercialized due to diffi culties such as looping particle performance and system
design. Th e patented syngas chemical looping unit is unique because it can allow
electricity and/or hydrogen production by using countercurrent moving bed reactor
design and specially tailored oxygen carrier particles.

Undergraduate Program
Cooperative Learning Experiences: Autumn 2010 through Autumn 2011
Th e 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 career-related positions by alternating quarters
of full-time coursework with periods of paid, full-time employment. An internship involves one work period with an employer. A work period may last for one quarter or for
two consecutive quarters. Summer internships are the most popular among students and employers.
Students meet with advisors, Brian Endres and Holly Longman, to evaluate diff erent schedule arrangements before interviewing because many employers hire for specifi c
“rotations.” For instance, students may work fulltime during the summer quarter, attend full-time classes in autumn, and return to their employer for full-time work in the
winter. Th e most popular term to work is the summer. Last year, CBE students completed 48 co-op rotations and 96 internships.

2011 Placement Record for Undergraduates
Graduates of our program continue to have strong placement records both within industry and graduate and professional programs. Th e percentages provided here are based
on senior exit surveys at the time of graduation.
Fift y-nine percent of our graduates will be going directly to industry with their B.S. degrees. About fi ft een percent of our students will be going on to graduate or professional
school. Approximately thirty percent of our students have accepted positions in Ohio and will stay in the state to pursue their post graduation plans. Students will be working
at various corporations such as Exxon Mobil, the Dow Chemical Company, Procter and Gamble, and DuPont.
A number of our graduates received Latin Honors, With Distinction Honors or With Honors in Engineering. Latin honors are defi ned as follows: a cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of 3.5-3.69 is Cum Laude; 3.70-3.89 is Magna Cum Laude; and 3.90-4.00 is Summa Cum Laude. Forty percent of our students graduated with some level of Latin
Honors.
A student who graduates “With Honors Research Distinction” is an honors student (greater than a 3.4 GPA) who has completed a senior honors 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. Fourteen
students graduated with Honors in Engineering and nine students graduated With Distinction in various disciplines.

2011-2012 Undergraduate
Scholarship Information
A total of 115 students were awarded undergraduate
scholarships in the Chemical & Biomolecular program.
Th e vast majority of those students were current majors,
although a small amount went to recruit high ability fi rst
year students as well. A total of $99,600 was awarded to
students heading into the 2011-2012 school year. Th e
average award was $866 this year compared to $894 the
previous year.
Trends in data from fi nancial aid show that the number
and amount of both student and parent loans have been
increasing. Both Ohio State tuition and University fi nancial
support have also increased yearly. However, since the
increase in scholarship support hasn’t been able to keep
up with tuition increases, engineering students and their
families have had to increase their debt levels to cover
the additional costs. In the Chemical & Biomolecular
Engineering Department, department scholarships from
alumni and corporate donors help defray a small part of the
loan burden for many of our students.
Department scholarships are determined mainly by need,
however, when a scholarship specifi es that a student’s merit
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.
A description of the qualifi cations for each endowed
scholarship is available on the Ohio State Treasurer’s
website: http://www.treasurer.ohio-state.edu/endowment/

Research Expenditures
For the past fi ve years, our research expenditures (data from the Ohio State
Research Foundation) have been outstanding. On a per-capita basis, expenditures
averaged over $700k per year during fi scal years 2007-2011. Our faculty are among
the most productive at Ohio State and near the top of all Chemical Engineering
departments in the nation.
Faculty Productivity
Th e following table, relating to faculty research and our Ph.D. program, attests to our
faculty’s productivity. In the past fi ve years the average graduation rate was 13 Ph.D.
students per year and a ratio of 0.73 Ph.D. degrees per faculty member. 2011 shows a
decline in research expenditures to $10.6M, refl ecting the end of substantial funding
from the “Th ird Frontier” program from the State of Ohio.
