Che Newsletter 2005.Indd Summer 2005 Arvind Varma R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor and Head, School of Chemical Engineering Dear Chemical Engineering Alumni and Friends, This year at the School of Chemical Engineering the environment is dynamic and the future is now. With the com- pletion and dedication of the new addition to the Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering, we are beginning our tran- sition. Yet even as our facilities change, our mission remains the same: to produce graduates of the highest caliber as they begin their careers or pursue further study. Our faculty members continue to be creative and productive as they investigate the frontiers of chemical engineering in the new century. The ChE addition project has been a part of the school’s Strategic Plan—to provide a state-of-the art teaching environment through interactive classrooms and teaching laboratories along with a first-class research environment. In the future, we plan to offer more in-class team exercises and problem-solving activities and more hands-on laboratory courses. As we recruit new faculty, we expect that they will be energetic teachers with aggressive research programs in new and emerging ChE areas that benefit society. Two world-class researchers joined our faculty this year: Professors Rakesh Agrawal and R. Byron Pipes. Dr. Agrawal is the Winthrop E. Stone Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering and comes to Purdue after several years of outstanding service at Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. The first chair of Air products’ Technology Board, he was instrumental in developing and driving their “New Waves” docu- ment that established some major growth opportunities for Air Prod- ucts based on the emerging social and technological trends. Professor Agrawal is a member of the National Academy of Engineer- ing, and additional information about him is given on page 8. New Lecture Hall: President Jischke, Prof. Varma, Prof. Pipes joins us as the John L. Bray Distinguished Professor of Marilyn & Bob Forney, Dean Katehi at the dedication. Engineering after serving as the Goodyear Professor of Polymer Engineering at the University of Akron since 2001. He has faculty appointments in materials engineering, chemical engineering, and aeronautics and astronautics. Professor Pipes is a member of the U.S. continued on page 2 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING and Swedish National Academies of Engineering. Additional details about his background are also given on page 8. This year, 325 undergraduates were enrolled in the school, and 70 of these students graduated this May with BSChE degrees. There are 119 students in advanced degree programs. ChE students continue to pursue exciting industrial experiences through co-op opportunities and internships. We are gratified that employers are pleased with the preparation and dedication of our students. It is a great time to be at the school! Our faculty continues to be recognized for excellence. Several are conducting research in areas such as combinatorial catalysis, molecular simulations, novel energy sources, insulin delivery, and pharmaceutical engineering which have tremendous commercializa- tion opportunities. This is an exciting way for faculty to see that the results of their research have applica- tions beyond the ChE laboratories. Such achievements strengthen our programs and enhance the school’s Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering international reputation. This is an exciting time for our school as we educate students for the future, engage in research, and build for the next generation. With warm regards, ARVIND VARMA R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor and Head, School of Chemical Engineering 2 Purdue University U.S. News & World Report Rankings The latest U.S. News & World Report rankings show that our school consistently ranks among the best at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Specifically, the undergraduate program ranked 13th, while the graduate program ranked 12th in the nation. The latter rose from 16th the previous year.

  • The Emergence of Tissue Engineering As a Research Field
    5.0 Who Are the Tissue Engineers? This section examines the people and institutions that are active in tissue engineering or, in a few cases, played a key role in the past. We review some characteristics of the community of tissue engineers viewed in aggregate, introduce specific individuals and six major centers of activity that have played central roles in research or training since the earliest days of the emergence of tissue engineering, and conclude with a few observations on the corporate sector. Our focus here is on those who are actually doing tissue engineering; the role of funding agencies is addressed in a later section. Our analysis draws heavily on a roster of 231 tissue engineers compiled by the study team, and presented in Appendix 2. These include individuals who have published in the realm of tissue engineering, have trained with notable names in the field, or have otherwise self-proclaimed themselves as tissue engineers. The roster is not intended to be a definitive list of those who should be considered tissue engineers – rather, it should be viewed as a convenience sample intended to shed light in a qualitative sense on the nature of tissue engineering and its participants, and to provide an overall sense of trends affecting the character of the field. With that purpose in mind, however, we believe that the list does contain the great majority of academic, non-physician researchers with faculty appointments in the United States and Canada who have identified tissue engineering explicitly as an important component of their research interests. In addition, the list includes a selection of the most prominent physician-researchers in the field, along with a small sampling of individuals in the corporate sector.

  • 2013 CU Answer Book
    2013 CU Answer Book Institutional Research | Office of the Vice President for Budget and Finance June 2013 About CU CU History The University of Colorado dates back to the early days of Colorado. At its first session in 1861, the Colorado territorial legislature passed an act providing for the creation of a university in Boulder. To establish the university, the legislature appropriated $15,000, which was matched by Boulder residents. The Civil War delayed the formal founding of the university until 1876, the year Colorado became a state. The doors to Old Main opened on September 5, 1877. Old Main still stands and is used by many members of the university community. CU has grown dramatically since its early days. It is now a system with four campuses: Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver and the Anschutz Medical Campus. In 1974 the Board of Regents officially established the CU System, led by a president, with each campus led by a chancellor. The Colorado Springs campus began in the 1920s as an extension center for the Boulder campus. By the 1960s the extension center had grown to more than 1,200 students. A gift of the land and buildings of the Cragmor Sanatorium provided a permanent site for the campus, and in 1965, the extension center became the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. The Denver Campus also began as an extension site, first offering courses from Boulder in 1912. It became an official extension center in 1957 with authority to grant degrees, and then became an autonomous CU campus in 1974. It shares the Auraria campus with the Community College of Denver and Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Admission to the Poster Forum (other than candidates below) are by a business card showing that the individual is a faculty recruiter and a valid BMES Annual Meeting badge. AMR ASHRAF ABDEEN, PhD Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI . [email protected] Research Overview: My interests lie at a unique intersection of biomaterials and mechanobiology, genomics and stem cell therapies. I aim to advance the analysis of biomaterial-cell interaction, fundamental mechanobiology and biomaterials-based therapeutics using novel genome engineering methods in the biomaterials field. My doctoral work focused on the use of biomaterials to probe cell-matrix interaction – how cell matrix affects their differentiation and secretory profile for therapeutic purposes. My postdoctoral work focuses on the more translational usage of biomaterials for therapies. Here, I’ve worked on protein delivery for genome editing, had exposure to state -of the-art regenerative stem cell therapies (for in vivo implantation) and immunotherapies (such as CAR-T therapies). In addition, I now have extensive experience in CRISPR-based genome manipulation for fundamental studies as well as therapeutic purposes. This work involved learning more sophisticated, high-throughput molecular biology assays. One focus of my lab will be studying the more fundamental biomaterials-cell interactions using unbiased biological methods such as high throughput sequencing or functional screens, coupled with a library of biomaterials that covers a wide range of materials properties. Another focus will be the m ore translational aspect of therapeutics, with a focus on delivery techniques for both gene and cell therapies.
