ANNUAL

REPORT

-2--1-

Dear Alumni and Friends of the Department:

On this mid-winter morning we have been greeted by the coldest day of the year, yet construction continues apace on our new building. The concrete framework for the research bar is almost complete with the scaffolding for the forms and rebar for the

roof of the building being laid down as I write. I can also hear the clanging of the steelworkers as they complete the steel framework for the office tower section of the complex, an impressive six-story structure. The progress is amazing, but the reality is that it will be nearly two years before all the interior details are completed and we can move in. This also gives us two more years to complete our fund raising obligation of $17.5M. Thanks to all who have contributed so far to bring our total raised to over $15M. Hopefully others will step up to help us reach our goal. We continue to set records in the department in a variety of categories. With the addition of Assistant Professor Lisa Hall we are at an all-time high of 20 tenure-track faculty. Last year we had a record of 535 majors (sophomore-senior) and 127 B.S. graduates. At the graduate level we have 88 students in residence with 21 students receiving their Ph.D. degrees this past year. Our research expenditures were $7.3M with particular successes achieved by L. S. Fan and Winston Ho which are summarized elsewhere in this report. Other newsworthy events include an unprecedented sweep of Ohio State’s Innovator of the Year awards. L. S. Fan won the Innovator of the Year category, Jessica Winter won the Early Career Award and Qussai Marashdeh, who works with Dr. Fan, won Student Innovator of the Year Award. Umit Ozkan won the

Koffolt Laboratories National Campaign Committee

The Koffolt Laboratories National Campaign Committee gathered October 5, 2012. Chairman Bill Lowrie opened the meeting and updated the group on the But for Ohio State campaign kickoff events.

Department Chair Stuart Cooper gave a department overview. The department recently learned that it had ranked second nationally in the 2010 update of NSF’s database of total research funding. In 2010, the depart-ment was ranked 20th in Federal funding.

Guest Faye Bodyke gave an update on the construc-tion of the new Koffolt Labs. The project was budgeted for $89M in construction dollars and a $3.8M in bid overage has been reduced to $1.1M. In March 2013, the last piece of steel is expected to be placed to top out the building. Building enclosure will occur in the fall of 2013. Occupancy in the new building is expected to begin at the end of 2014, beginning with the basement and teaching areas. It will take up to eight months to complete all the moves for the research laboratories.

New faculty member Lisa Hall gave an overview of her work in polymers and ionomers and their applications in car tires, golf ball covers, and photovoltaics.

Director of Development Jason Haskins gave a cam-paign update: $15M of the $17.5M goal has been achieved. Bill Lowrie and Jason briefly discussed identi-fying class leaders for each class year - particularly those with upcoming reunions - as a strategy for mobilizing additional support.

The meeting concluded by viewing the But for Ohio State campaign video featuring Bill Lowrie. Committee members then went on a tour of the construction site.

Karen (‘71) and Milt Hendricks: Engineering a rewarding life In 1966, disillusioned pre-med student Karen (Lafferty) Hendricks had never even thought of chemical engineering. But when a friend suggested it as an option, she “marched right into Dr. Syverson’s office and said, ‘I’m going to become an engineer!’”

Karen Hendricks in 1971

The former high school valedictorian met her match in the rigorous ChemE program, but stayed motivated because she thought, ‘If I do this, there will be a payoff in the end.’

Karen excelled and blossomed as a ChemE student. Having come from a small town (Shelby, OH), she feels indebted to Ohio State because “it opened up a world and set me on a really life-changing course.”

At her 1971 graduation, Karen was one of 13 students out of about 7,000 who were honored as “Outstanding Graduating Seniors.” She went on to enjoy a successful career with executive roles at Procter & Gamble (where she met husband Milt, a now-retired R&D manager) and the Dial Corporation. She retired as chairman, president, and CEO of the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company in 2001.

Even after Karen began her career, her ties to Ohio State grew. In 1983, she was elected to serve on the OSU Alumni Board of Directors. “I really enjoyed that, and gained a network of like-minded alums,” she said. Governor Taft later asked her to serve on the Board of Trustees, and she received several awards for service to alma mater.

Two years ago, Karen and Milt made a gift to name the Unit Ops Student Lounge in the new Koffolt Labs complex. “Much of the success of ChemE alums is attributable to this department, and it deserves better facilities,” Karen said. “It’s becoming impossible to train engineers of the future in the old building, because it is obsolete. The new building will be a much better learning environment.”

Although Milt and Karen feel it is important to support the new building, they recently realized that their passion is to help students like themselves. This is why they’ve reconfigured the scholarship they set up in 1999 to make it a “transformational” award to predominantly support one recipient.

Scholarships enabled Milt to attend college at Lehigh University, and the motivation Karen felt as a scholarship recipient is also very important to her.

The Hendricks scholarship has similar meaning for current recipients. CBE senior Madeline Shirk (pictured at right) said, “It’s motivational because here are people who don’t really know who I am, yet they think it is worth investing in my education and demonstrating faith in my potential and future. The least I can do is to pay them back by working hard in school. It also gives me time to get involved in activities where I can build my leadership skills.” Madeline Shirk

Supporting the development of leadership skills is one of the goals of the Hendricks scholarship because “engineers with ‘people skills’ are the ones who can maximize their professional contributions and success,” Karen explains.

To Milt and Karen, philanthropy is a matter of ‘giving back.’ “We got good educations and feel truly blessed with where we are in our lives. We don’t need more ‘stuff.’ We are trying to live out our values by how we spend our time and money,” Karen said. “We get a lot of enjoyment from traveling, and seeing the fruits of our philanthropic efforts. It feels good when we give according to our values and conscience – like we’re doing the right thing,” she added. Milt agreed. “Money is man’s personal energy in portable form. It can go places and serve lives in ways you may never know,” he said.

Madeline Shirk would certainly agree. “One day, I hope to be able to help someone else in the same way, because I know it has affected me and given me opportunities. Investing in young engineers is simply an awesome thing to do,” she said, smiling.

CBE’s 2012 “Innovators of the Year:” Faculty and student win all three Innovator AwardsThis year, CBE won all three awards. In the history of the award, no single college, let alone department, has done so before!

Winter’s Innovation Involving Quantum Dots

Jessica Winter was named Early Career Innovator of the Year. Winter and research scientist Gang Ruan filed a patent for inventing quantum-dot based diagnostic tools for clinical pathology, and started a company, Core Quantum Technologies, based on this invention. Quantum dots are fluorescent nanoparticles of semiconductor encapsulated

in tiny plastic nanocontainers called micelles. They glow like little traffic lights in different colors, depending upon which material is used. Micelles containing different combinations of red and green dots provide the additional benefit of a continuous glow vs. the on and off “twinkling” of single-color particles. The dots help biologists see the inner workings of a cell, allowing them to track chemical reactions and cellular-level biological processes under a microscope. The technology can be used by biomedical engineers studying the root cause of diseases like cancer, and for medical imaging. Visit http://nanoforneuro.com/ for info.

Qussai Marashdeh, Jessica Winter, and L.S. Fan receive the 2012 “Innovator of the Year” awards.

Fan’s Innovation: Clean Coal Carbon Capture Technology

L.S. Fan was named 2012 Innovator of the Year, and Qussai Marashdeh, who works with Dr. Fan, received the Student Innovator of the Year Award. Fan’s transformational work in chemical looping - a one-step process to produce both electric power and high-purity CO2 - converts carbon-based fuels such as coal, syngas and natural gas to electricity, liquid fuels and/or hydrogen with low to negative net carbon emissions. As one of the ultimate technologies in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)’s Carbon Emission Control Technology Roadmap, chemical looping utilizes the reduction-oxidation reactions of an oxygen carrier to segregate the air source from the fuel. This eliminates the need for energy-intensive CO2 separation systems that require high capital and operating costs. In the fall of 2012, the project’s DOE-funded 25 kWth Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL) pilot plant completed over 200 hours continuous operation, making it the longest con-tinuous demonstration of chemical looping technology using solid-fuel feedstock anywhere in the world. This success signifies the commerical potential for the Ohio State-patented CDCL technology to be implemented at either new greenfield plants or for cost-effective repowering of existing coal-fired power plants. This process for producing electricity and liquid fuel from carbon-based fuels without adding to the greenhouse gas emis-sions that have been linked to rising global temperatures is thought to be the most advanced technology of its kind.

CDCL technology’s potential economic and environmental im-pact could be far-reaching, since it would help foster the economical use of coal reserves while controlling pollutants in a cost-effective manner. In addition to the DOE, Ohio State is partnering with the Ohio Department of Development, Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc., CONSOL Energy Inc., and Clear Skies Consulting LLC. Further, DOE’s National Carbon Capture Center in Wilsonville, AL will serve as host site for building and operating a 25 kWth pressurized syngas chemical looping pilot unit this year. It will be used to further prove the operability and economic feasibility of OSU’s advanced chemical looping technologies. Fan’s inventions are not limited to CDCL. He also invented the first and only electrical capacitance volume tomography for three-dimensional real time imaging of multiphase flows and reactor systems. He commercialized it with spinoff company Tech4Imaging. The technology has been used worldwide for academic research and industrial practice. News of the successful test-run of Fan’s CDCL technology appeared in the February 7, 2013 MIT Technology Review Daily Newsletter.

Game-Changer: Winston Ho develops CO2 capture membranesResearchers W.S. Winston Ho (distinguished professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and materials science), Prabir Dutta (distinguished university professor in chemistry) and their students have taken another step forward in the global race for clean energy – a key element in national efforts to mitigate climate change – by developing a novel and more economical CO2 capture membrane.

The research was funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy, which hopes to position the United States as a leader in global clean energy within ten years by deploying cost-effective carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies at coal-fired power plants. The Ohio State team received about $1M beginning October 1, 2011 for the total funding of $3M for the project through December 2014.

The researchers’ groundbreaking development – an economical hybrid membrane that combines the separation performance of inorganic membranes with the cost-effectiveness of polymer membranes -- has vast commercial potential for use at coal-fired power plants using CCUS technologies.

CCUS technologies strive to increase CO2 capture efficiency by re-using some of the emissions generated in coal-burning to produce further energy. However, before the carbon dioxide generated at a power plant can be securely stored or put to use, it must first be separated from the flue gas stream. Unfortunately, the energy cost of current separation technologies has been too high to make rapid commercial deployment of CCUS technologies feasible.

The breakthrough for Ho, Dutta and their team lies in their approach of combining polymer membranes (organic or plastic), which are mass produced and cost effective, with inorganic membranes (metal or ceramic), which exhibit much better performance but are expensive to produce. By using a flexible polymeric membrane support, they can fabricate the membrane in roll-to-roll processing, enabling them to produce hybrid inorganic/organic membranes in a low-cost manner.

Scientists in David Wood’s laboratories have recently developed a new method for rapidly purifying complex biopharmaceuticals with highly structured sugar molecules added to their surface, which give them important characteristics for various therapeutic applications. Examples of these proteins include the blockbuster drugs Remicade® for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Avastin® for metastatic cancers, Rituxan® for RA and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and dozens of other lifesaving recombinant antibodies and glycoproteins.

Many of these therapeutics are based on monoclonal antibodies and can be purified using Protein A affinity methods, but increasingly important non-antibody glycoproteins cannot. These proteins require individual methods to be developed, which can slow the discovery and development of new therapeutics, while increasing their eventual costs.

The development of these new drugs has created an urgent need for a general and reliable purification method. The Wood Lab has worked over the past several years to develop a solution to this problem by using self-cleaving molecular hooks, called “affinity tags.” This method adds a small sequence of DNA to the DNA sequence of the target protein so that the target becomes “tagged” with a molecular hook when it is made. This hook allows the target protein to be very easily purified, using a simple and general method.

Once purified, the tag is induced to remove itself, producing an unmodified target protein for use in research or in the clinic.

Although this method is very powerful and convenient, it has not been applied to therapeutic glycoproteins because the tags tend to cleave themselves too soon in the special mammalian cells where they are made – before the purification procedure can be completed.

Professor Wood’s student, Changhua Shi, recently solved this problem by splitting the self-cleaving part of the tag into two pieces. Each half of the tag is inactive on its own, and therefore cannot self-cleave until the two pieces have been mixed together.

This allows the purification to take place under highly controlled conditions, which greatly increases the efficiency and appeal of the method.

This work was recently published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology.

The Engineering Cooperative Education & Internship Program (ECIP) helps undergraduate students obtain career-related employment of two types: cooperative education (co-op) positions and internships. A co-op experience provides an opportunity to apply what is learned in the classroom in 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 Prouty to evaluate different schedule arrangements before interviewing because many employers hire for specific “rotations.” For instance, students may work fulltime during the summer, attend full-time classes in autumn, and return to their employer for full-time work in the winter. The most popular term to work is the summer. Last year, CBE students completed 62 co-op rotations and 109 internship or part-time work experiences.

Todd David Harris Memorial ScholarshipLauren DiNardo Katherine GradertRob Russell

A total of 135 students were awarded undergraduate scholarships in the Chemical & Biomolecular program. The vast majority of those students were current majors, although a small amount went to recruit high ability first year students as well. A total of $134,450 was awarded to students heading into the 2012-2013 school year. The average award was $995 this year compared to $866 the previous year.

Trends in data from financial aid show that the number and amount of both student and parent loans have been increasing. Both Ohio State tuition and University financial support have 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 burden of loans for many of our students.

Department scholarships are determined mainly on merit, however, both merit and need are taken into account when a scholarship specifies consideration for need.

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

Graduate ProgramThe 2013 U.S. News and World Report rankings of engineering graduate programs placed the Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at #28. While the college rankings are based in good part on objective measures such as research funding, number of Ph.D. graduates, number of publications, etc., the departmental rankings are based on subjective surveys of deans of engineering and industrial executives.

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

During the past five years the research expenditures for the department have been outstanding. While we experienced a decline to $7.2M in fiscal year 12, we expect significant increases in future years due to the extraordinary productivity of a number of our senior faculty and the ramping up of research of faculty who have recently joined the department. On a per-capita basis, expenditures averaged over $650K per year during fiscal years 2008-2012. Our faculty are among the most productive at Ohio State and near the top of all Chemical Engineering departments in the nation.
