2008 Annual Report - Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering ...

2008 Annual Report

Dear Alumni, Students and Friends:
On behalf of our faculty, I wish everyone all the best in 2009.
We’ve had an extraordinary year in the department, with
enrollment rising fast, plans for our new building evolving,
many successes noted for our students and faculty and a
wonderful gift commitment by Ernestine R. and William G.
Lowrie (BCE ’66). This annual report includes articles on all
of these achievements, and I especially urge you to read the
piece on Ernie and Bill.
The Lowrie gift includes $11 million for our new, larger
facility and $1 million for an endowed professorship in
memory of Professor H.C. “Slip” Slider. In addition, the
gift plan includes a future $2 million endowed Ernestine
R. Lowrie chair and a $3 million endowment for emerging
priorities. The University is responding to this magnanimous
investment by naming the department the “William G. Lowrie
Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.”
Ours will be the first named department at Ohio State. Ernie
wanted only Bill’s name in the department title, but we are
pleased to name the new endowed chair in her name. The
Lowries’ gift will facilitate a significant transformation of the
department both physically, in terms of a new building, and
intellectually, as it opens the door with enhanced resources to
recruit new faculty, strengthen our undergraduate program
and support advanced research. All of our faculty and
students thank the Lowries for their generosity, which will
greatly strengthen our department in the years to come.
In addition to Bill and Ernie’s $11 million for the new Koffolt
building, other ChemEs and friends have given nearly
$600,000 for the project. We must raise $17.5 million by 2014
for the $120 million complex. The department is counting on
you to help close this $6 million gap. There will be naming
opportunities throughout our new home, beginning at
$25,000 and up.
This fall, more than 100 students, mostly sophomores, took
our first course in material and energy balances. We taught a
third section winter quarter, so we are anticipating graduation
classes approaching or exceeding 100 in the not-too-distant
future. Our new students are excellent, as Ohio State and the
College of Engineering have become more and more selective
over the past decade. Indeed, retention levels of students
at the University and in our department have increased
considerably. At the graduate level, our department fared
very well in a review of all PhD programs at Ohio State; we
are among the 12 top-tier graduate programs out of the 160
evaluated.
Finally, I should mention that Sherry Stoneman recently
retired. Many of you may know her—she has been the
interface between our alumni and the department for nine
years. This has been an eventful year for Sherry, as she
received the “Above and Beyond Award” by the College of
Engineering this fall. We will all miss her helpful attitude in so
many areas of department operations.
Best wishes from all our faculty, staff and students.

Lowrie Family Donates $17,000,000
to Ohio State Engineering
University recognizes generosity with first-ever named department.

On February 6, 2009, the Ohio State University announced a
commitment of $17 million from Ernestine and William G.
Lowrie in support of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
at Ohio State. The commitment is the largest made by an
individual donor to engineering at the University.
The gift will endow construction and support of a new
laboratory facility, create the H.C. “Slip” Slider Professorship
for an untenured faculty member in Chemical and
Biomolecular Engineering, establish a new endowed chair
and provide an endowment to support new initiatives in
education and research.
“Bill Lowrie’s support will create tremendous opportunities
for generations of students,” said Gregory N. Washington,
interim dean of engineering. “He has served the College of
Engineering in so many ways since he was a student here, and
now he is making it possible to serve our students for years to
come. We are so thankful for the Lowries and their generous
support of our program.”
“At this stage of my life, I find myself in a position where I
can help and give back in a meaningful way,” said Lowrie. “I
wanted to move on it now, regardless of what is going on in
the economy, so that I could see it happen and partially repay
the University and the Department of Chemical Engineering
for the huge impact they have had on my life and the lives of
so many others.”
In recognition of the Lowrie’s gift, the Ohio State University
Board of Trustees approved the naming of the William
G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering to be housed in the new Koffolt Laboratories
building, which is scheduled for completion in 2014. The
building replaces the current Koffolt Laboratories, named
in honor of the late, highly regarded former Chemical
Engineering Professor and Chair Joseph H. Koffolt.
“Ernie and Bill have long been among the University’s firmest
friends, and I am deeply grateful to them for their latest gift
to advance teaching, learning, and research,” said President E.
Gordon Gee. “The Lowrie’s strategic support for our faculty
and facilities is a powerful statement about the wisdom of
investing in higher education and in the future of Ohio, our
nation, and beyond.”
“We are at a point in time where we badly need to replace the
chemical engineering facility. Even in this difficult time in
the world we can’t just put a stop to everything and hope it all
goes away,” said Lowrie. “The progress with the faculty size
and stature over the last 25 to 30 years needs to continue, and
we need to be able to attract the best. We are stuck by the lack
of proper facilities and that detracts from our ability to recruit
and retain faculty, graduate students and undergraduate
students.”
A native of Painesville, Ohio, Lowrie received his Bachelor’s
of Chemical Engineering degree from Ohio State in 1966.
He spent his entire 33-year career with Amoco, working
his way up through the company in positions of increasing
responsibility, including president of Amoco Oil Company in
1990, president of Amoco Production Company in 1992, and
president of Amoco from 1995 until 1998, when it merged
with BP. He then served as deputy CEO of BP Amoco
until 1999.
Along with administrative and managerial contributions to
Amoco, Lowrie had a major role in increasing oil production

and advancing oil drilling technology. In recognition of his
distinguished industrial career, the American Institute of
Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers awarded him
the Charles F. Rand Gold Medal in 2001.
His many contributions to Ohio State have been recognized
with the 1979 Texnikoi Outstanding Alumnus Award;
a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the College of
Engineering; and the Benjamin G. Lamme Meritorious
Achievement Medal, the College of Engineering’s highest
honor. Lowrie is the only engineering alumnus to receive all
three awards. In 2005, the university recognized his years of
dedicated service as chair and volunteer to the Ohio State
University Foundation with the Everett D. Reese Medal.
Bill Lowrie has also received the 2008 Alumni Medalist award
for career achievement, the highest honor accorded by the
Ohio State University Alumni Association, given to those
who have brought extraordinary credit to the university and
significant benefit to humankind. He and Ernestine currently
reside in Sheldon, South Carolina.

Lowrie Receives Alumni Medalist Award
On September 26, 2008, William G. Lowrie, BCE ‘66, was
awarded the Alumni Medalist Award, the single highest honor
accorded by the Ohio State University Alumni Association.
This award is presented for career achievement to alumni
who have gained national or international distinction as
outstanding exponents of a chosen field or profession and
who have brought extraordinary credit to the University and
significant benefit to humankind.
Over the course of a 33-year career with Amoco in Louisiana
and Chicago, Lowrie rose from engineer to president and
played a major role in increasing oil recovery and advancing
drilling technology. He supervised the development of
environmental fuels, managed international oil acquisitions,
and directed projects leading to technology for producing
methane from coal beds. When BP and Amoco came together
in 1998 in what was the world’s largest merger, Lowrie became
the company’s deputy chief executive before retiring the
following year.
of Business Development, Vice President of Engineering
and Technical Services, Vice President of the Refining and
Petrochemical Group, and in 1992 was named President and
CEO. He has received patents for improvements in catalytic

Benjamin G. Lamme, ME 1888, achieved international
acclaim as a pioneering inventor and engineer for the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. in Pittsburgh.
His will provided that a gold medal be presented annually
to a technical graduate of his alma mater for “meritorious
achievement in advancing engineering.”
Lowrie has received many industry awards, including the
Charles F. Rand Gold Medal from the American Institute of
Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers. In 1998,
Lowrie and his wife established the William G. and Ernestine
R. Lowrie Endowment Fund for Chemical Engineering
Excellence at Ohio State. In addition, Lowrie is chair of
the fundraising national committee for the new Koffolt
Laboratories.
Lowrie’s many contributions to Ohio State have been
recognized with the 1979 Texnikoi Outstanding Alumnus
Award; a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the College
of Engineering; and the Benjamin G. Lamme Meritorious
Achievement Medal, the College of Engineering’s highest
honor. Lowrie is the only engineering alumnus to receive all
three awards. In 2005, the university recognized his years of
dedicated service with the Everett D. Reese Medal.

Claugus Wins
Distinguished Alumnus Award
Thomas Claugus, BCE ‘73, is the 2008 recipient of the Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering Distinguished Alumnus Award. Claugus is President of GMT Capital,
an Atlanta-based private equity firm. He received an MBA from Harvard Business
School, and began working for Rohm and Haas, in positions from production
manager to general manager of Rohm and Haas in Mexico; business manager
for the construction products and trade sales business for Rohm and Haas in
Philadelphia; and European manager for the Polymers Division of Rohm and
Haas, based in London. In 1990, Claugus left Rohm and Haas to establish The
Partnership, and in 1992, returned to fulltime investing, reactivating Bay Resource
Partners, L.P.
The Distinguished Alumni Awards were established by the faculty of the College of
Engineering to recognize distinguished achievement on the part of alumni in the
field of engineering or architecture by reason of significant inventions, important
research or design, administrative leadership, or genius in production.
Fan Named One of “One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era”
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding
of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2008,
AIChE developed lists of individuals who contributed to the
profession and society. These lists highlight advances in the
profession during the years before World War II (“Foundation
Age”) and after (“Modern Era”). Professor L.S. Fan was
named one of the “One Hundred Engineers of the Modern
Era.”
Fan’s inclusion is based on his wide-ranging contributions
in the field of fluidization and powder technology. His
research has led to advances in understanding the complex
and dynamic fluid and bubble phenomena taking place in
fluidized bed reactors and has led to significant process
improvements in the chemicals and fuels industries. Fan
recently invented the first electrical capacitance volume
tomography apparatus, which provides detailed in-situ images
of multiphase reactor systems. He also invented a number of
processes relating to clean coal energy conversion processes.
His chemical looping processes enable powdered coal to be
economically converted to hydrogen, chemicals and liquid
fuels with possible CO 2 separation.
Fan Wins Innovation Award
Professor L.S. Fan is the recipient of the 2008 Award for Innovation in Coal Conversion (also known as the Pitt Award) by the
International Pittsburgh Coal Conference. This award recognizes Fan’s outstanding contributions in the development and applications
of numerous technical innovations for coal conversion and clean coal technology.

Chemical Reaction
Networks Can Behave in
Unexpected Ways
For many years, Professor Martin Feinberg and his students
have explored the mathematics of complex networks of chemical
reactions. In nature, one typically has several – and often very
many – chemical reactions occurring simultaneously, with
reactants both produced and consumed by the various reactions.
The governing equations are highly complex, and reaction
rate constants appearing in those equations are often known
only approximately, if at all. Feinberg’s research has pioneered
chemical reaction network theory, which seeks to draw firm
theoretical relationships between qualitative aspects of reactor
behavior and structure of the underlying network of chemical
reactions.
At least in an isothermal setting, most reaction networks – even
highly complex ones involving hundreds of species – behave
in surprisingly stable ways, regardless of parameter values. In
the context of a continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR),
for example, there is typically just one steady state solution of
the governing equations, and transient solutions tend toward
that steady state. Recent work with graduate student Gheorghe
Craciun has gone a long way to explain why this is so. (Craciun
is now an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Biomolecular
Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin.)
More generally, Feinberg’s work has been receiving substantial
attention in disciplines outside of chemical engineering, notably
in biology and mathematics. Recently, for example, he 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. He has given invited
mathematics lectures at the Courant Institute (NYU), Fields
Institute (Toronto), University of North Carolina, Georgia Tech
and Duke University.
Cooper Elected to Governing Board
of Council for Chemical Research
Stuart L. Cooper, professor and chair of the Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering, has been elected to the Governing Board of the Council for Chemical Research. CCR is
an organization that recognizes and facilitates basic research in the chemical sciences and engineering.
Its purpose is to benefit society by advancing research in chemistry, chemical engineering and related
disciplines through leadership collaboration across discipline, institution and sector boundaries.
Winter Chosen for H.C. “Slip” Slider
Young Faculty Professorship
Assistant Professor Jessica Winter has received the H.C. “Slip” Slider Young Faculty Professorship in
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Winter joined Ohio State in 2006 after completing her graduate
degrees at the University of Texas at Austin. In her postdoctoral work, she examined the application
of tissue engineering techniques to neural prosthetic devices at the Center for Innovative Visual
Rehabilitation, a collaborative effort between Harvard Medical School and MIT. Her primary research
interest is the exploration of the relationship between nanoparticles and biological elements. She directs
the Laboratory for Neural Nanoprobes and Prosthetic Devices, where research pursuits are focused on the
development of micro- and nanoscale biomaterials that can be used to modulate nerve cells.
The Slider Professorship was established in 2008 by William G. Lowrie, a 1966 Chemical Engineering
alumnus, and his wife Ernestine, in appreciation of the late Professor Slider’s teaching and mentoring.
Celebrating the establishment of the H.C. “Slip” Slider Young Faculty Professorship are Interim Dean Gregory
Washington, Slider Professor Jessica Winter, Bill Lowrie, Mrs. Jennie Slider, Mrs. Ernie Lowrie and former
Dean Bud Baeslack.

Cooperative Learning Experiences:
Winter 2008 through Autumn 2008
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. Internship involves one work period with an employer. A work period may last for
one quarter or two consecutive quarters. Summer internships are the most popular among students and employers.
Students meet with academic 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 full-time during summer
quarter, attend full-time classes in autumn, and return to their employer for full-time work in the winter. Last summer, our
department had 61 students at internships and 23 at co-ops (as reported to ECS).
2008 Placement Record for Undergraduates
Chemical and biomolecular engineering continues to have a successful placement rate for our new graduates. Fifty-seven
percent of our graduates went directly into industry with their B.S. degrees. About 20% of our students are going on to graduate
or professional school, and 36% of our students will stay in the state to pursue their post graduation plans.
A number of our students graduated with Latin Honors, With Distinction or With Honors in Engineering; 29% of our students
graduated with some level of Latin Honors.
A student who graduates “With 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 required number of honors courses;
participation in community service, leadership and outreach; and participation in “investigational studies,” which includes
completing a research paper or thesis or a minor. Seven students graduated with Honors in Engineering and two students
graduated With Distinction in various disciplines.
Engineering Career Services welcomes employers to register to recruit Ohio State engineering students and graduates. There
is no cost to register and no fees for ECS services. If you are interested in hiring Ohio State students for co-op experiences,
internships or for full time placement, contact Rosemary Hill, director of Engineering Career Services at (614) 292-6651, http://

2008-2009 Undergraduate Scholarship Information
A total of 149 students were awarded undergraduate
scholarships in the chemical and biomolecular engineering
program. Most of the scholarships went to current majors,
although a small number went to recruit high-ability first year
students. A total of $161,000 was awarded to students in the
2008-2009 school year. This year, the department awarded
more scholarships but gave out slightly less money than the
previous year ($168,000). This has resulted in a lower average
award per student than in previous years. Huge increases in
enrollment and variability in some endowments have caused
these trends.
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 annually. 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 additional costs.
In the Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular
Engineering, 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 merit;
however, when a scholarship specifies that a student’s need
be considered, both merit and need are taken into account.
We thank 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 qualifications for each endowed
scholarship is available at the Ohio State Treasurer’s web site:

Graduate Program Ranking
The latest U.S. News and World Report rankings of engineering graduate programs
placed the Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at
#27. The College of Engineering was ranked #29 in the nation. While the college
rankings are based in good part on objective measures such as research funding,
number of PhD graduates, number of publications, etc., the departmental rankings
are based on subjective surveys of deans of engineering and industrial executives. In
2009, we expect the National Research Council to publish a listing of departmental
rankings that will be more quantitatively based. We have submitted our data for
the NRC exercise and are guardedly optimistic that our department will receive a
higher ranking from that analysis compared to the U.S. News survey. In any case,
these findings in the table are good news for the Department.
Faculty Productivity
The following table, relating to faculty research and our PhD program, reinforces
that our faculty are highly productive. Since 2004, we have averaged a graduation
rate of 13.8 PhD students per year and a ratio of .81 PhD degrees per faculty
member. It is significant that in 2005 and 2006, we were fifth in the nation in the
graduation of chemical engineering doctoral students. This is noteworthy as the
leading departments in this category typically have more faculty numbers than
Ohio State.

Lowrie Lectures
The 2008 Lowrie Lectures were held on May 1-2, with this year’s lecturer being Dr. Carol K. Hall, the
Camille Dreyfus Distinguished University Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at
North Carolina State University. She received her B.A. in physics from Cornell University and her PhD
in physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. After postdoctoral training in the
chemistry department at Cornell and a brief period as an economic modeler at Bell Laboratories, she
joined the chemical engineering department at Princeton University in 1977 as one of the first women to
be appointed to a chemical engineering faculty in the U.S. In 1985, she joined the chemical engineering
department at North Carolina State University.
Hall’s research focuses on applying statistical thermodynamics and molecular-level computer simulation
to topics of chemical, biological or engineering interest involving macromolecules or complex fluids.
Current research activities include modeling of polymer adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces; self
assembly of dipolar colloidal particles; self assembly of nanoparticles for the delivery of cancer drugs;
solid-fluid phase equilibria; hybridization of DNA on microarrays; and the formation of fibrils and other
molecular aggregates of peptides and proteins. She is the author of 190 publications, is a Fellow of the
American Physical Society and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2005.
Lecture I:
Thermodynamic and Kinetic Origins of Alzheimer’s and Related Diseases: A Chemical Engineer’s
Perspective
The pathological hallmark of more than 20 neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s
and the prion diseases, is the presence within the brain of plaques containing ordered protein aggregates
called fibrils. It is not yet known why these structures form in some individuals and not in others,
or whether the plaques are toxic or nature’s way of sequestering toxic species. Hall described current
thinking on the scientific underpinnings for this phenomenon, and her computational efforts to
contribute to our knowledge of how and why proteins assemble into fibrils.
Lecture II:
Confessions of an Ordinary Teacher: Dealing with the Big Fish
Professor Hall described the evolution of her attitude toward undergraduate teaching and its parallels
with her attitude toward life: high points, low points, lessons learned and the big fish.

2008 Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Advisory Board Meeting
The Advisory Board Meeting was held March 13, 2008, with
participants including Rich Brandon, Terry Chern, Ron
Harris, Bruce Martin, Karen Murphy, Nancy Dawes, Ron
Harris, Bob Tatterson, Drew Weber, Stuart Cooper, L.S. Fan,
Barbara Wyslouzil, Jack Zakin, Bob Brodkey, John Corn,
Marty Feinberg, Dave Tomasko, Kurt Koelling, Mike Paulaitis,
Isamu Kusaka, Jessica Winter, Andre Palmer, Bhavik Bakshi
and Jim Rathman.
Meeting topics included a department overview by Stuart
Cooper; a report by Dave Tomasko on the Honors and
Scholars Program followed by a brief discussion on how to
generate more interest in the Chemical Engineering Program,
especially among women; a discussion of the Academic
Program Review by Stuart Cooper; and a discussion by Jim
Rathman and Dave Tomasko about undergraduate issues
within the Strategic Plan: enhance the undergraduate learning
experience; evaluate addition of a second or combined degree
(biomolecular); enliven students’ sense of community and
commitment to CBE; and increase diversity, maintain a high
number of undergraduate majors, and increase enrollment of
non-majors in CBE courses.
Kurt Koelling addressed the group regarding Graduate
Program issues relating to the Strategic Plan, noting that
quality and productivity for chemical engineering at
Ohio State compares favorably with other top ten schools.
Goals for the graduate program are to raise the number of
minorities and domestic students; increase the Department’s
ranking, which is very important in attracting students; and
improve interactions between students to provide a sense of
community and loyalty within the student population.
National Committee for the Renovation and Expansion of Koffolt Laboratory
Student AIChE members Sandy Abraham and Kristen
Hendrix reported on the student organization, noting that
strengths of the organization were the CHEM E Car, the
Corporate Fall Meetings, and the Beat the Coop competition.
Items in need of attention are interaction with faculty
members, development of “soft” skills (interviewing, etc.),
ties to the local chapter and graduate school options. The
chapter is making an effort to get more students involved in
the organization; suggestions from Board members were to
increase activities to attract students, hold receptions after the
750 class speakers and invite faculty for an informal evening
of conversation.
Board Member suggestions included that the Strategic Plan
needed specific timeframes for goals; the Department needs
to better define its focus and strategy; the AIChE student
organization could be utilized in development of a greater
community within the Department; and that the fundraising
drive needs attention so people are aware of the needs and
funding opportunities to support construction of a new
building.

Attendees included (l to r):
Paul Kienholz, Ron Harris, Larry Woodworth,
Karen Hendricks, Jack Hammond, Mike Winfield,
