Craig R.FriedrichFriedrich

In his brightly lit laboratory, Dr. Craig Friedrich peers into the mechanism of a Langmuir-Blodgett trough, surrounded by part of his graduate research team. Glancing up at his students, he remarks, “This process uses a principle that was fi rst demonstrated by Ben Franklin, who, with a single drop of oil, created a monomolecular fi lm on a pond.” Intrigued, the students discuss Franklin’s theory relative to their own single molecule coating research, which will lead to the development of sensors for the detection of pathogens such as anthrax. With innovations like these protein nanosensors, Friedrich and his team are creating the modern history of nanotechnology.

In the past two decades, nanotechnology—the engineering of Nanotechnology at Michigan Tech functional systems at the molecular scale—has moved from In 1997, Friedrich left Louisiana for Michigan Tech, and the realm of science fi ction into reality.

It’s an absolute joy.” in Mechanical Engineering from Louisiana Tech and his In that spirit, Friedrich has joined forces with a team of eight PhD from Oklahoma State University. He returned to faculty members on a nanotechnology contract from the U.S. Louisiana Tech in 1987 to begin his research and teaching Department of Defense. He comments, “It’s been a great career in multi-scale technologies. Fascinated by new experience, and we’ve been very successful in developing developments in microtechnology, Friedrich focused on state-of-the-art technologies.” In the past two years, the micro-type research and helped develop the Institute for team’s efforts have resulted in at least 15 nanotechnology &Staff &Staff Micromanufacturing, where he pioneered machining with “world fi rsts.” Among others, the group has, for the fi rst time, small-scale cutting tools—tools which, at the time, were the patterned opto-electronic protein into structures as small as smallest in the world. 100 nanometers using a steerable ion beam, and has shown that these proteins can be activated by nearby fl uorescing Faculty

The Next Generation In addition to his research, Friedrich maintains an involvement with the student community at Michigan Tech. He is the Director of the Multi-Scale Technologies Institute and helps support, along with several other faculty members, the Nanotechnology Student Association. He developed and teaches Micromanufacturing Processes, a graduate-level course, and also teaches an undergraduate course Integrated Design and Manufacturing. Friedrich speaks highly of his students, saying, “The research program here is demanding. We are doing real-world

Donna J.MichalekMichalek

In the heart of Washington, DC, Senator James Inhofe prepares to question the Secretary of Defense about the United States’ Strategic Offensive Reduction Treaty with Russia. Behind him, Dr. Donna Michalek—the senator’s nuclear subject matter expert and the author of the questions for the hearing—watches as Inhofe straightens his shoulders and directs the fi rst query to Donald Rumsfeld. Michalek studies the Secretary’s expression as he pauses to consider, silently cheering when Rumsfeld smiles and says, "Excellent question, Senator Inhofe. That’s a diffi cult one." Looking back, Michalek recalls her thoughts. "That simple comment was reward enough for the hard work that went into the preparation for the hearing. It was a highlight of my sabbatical year as an aide on Capitol Hill, and I came away from the experience invigorated and motivated."

The young boy’s nimble hands turn his model airplane over and over as he examines carefully every detail of the small aircraft, seeking to discover the secrets of lift: the solid wing, the fl uid air, the energy exchanged. He built the propeller driven model, saw the plane fl y, and learned some things about how the plane fl ies, but could not see why. Ashisfinger traces the curved wing, the “Whys?” given in books raise questions in his mind. From this moment forward, “Why?” would be the dominant mover in the career of Amitabh Narain, driving him to discover the reason underlying the empirical. It has guided him on a lifelong journey to uncover the fundamental, invisible interaction of fl uids, surfaces, and energy.

Dr. Amitabh Narain is at the top of the fl uid mechanics fi eld.

The IITs are India’s premier engineering supported by grants from the National Science Foundation schools, and Narain earned a silver medal for being at the top and NASA, and has paved the way for related research of his class for each of the fi ve years of his degree program. projects.

were trying to invent something in a field that is not our own, that help was indispensable.” Michigan Tech, after informing NSF and NASA, is proceeding with the patenting process for this invention.

Funding for the fiber-optic sensor and the two-phase flow project has reached $1,000,000 and includes a recent grant from NASA to extend the research until 2009. In the future, Narain expects to lead development of a more general purpose version of his interface tracking code for use in other applications. In the meantime, industry interest in Narain’s work is emerging; in early 2006, he acted as a consultant for Proctor & Gamble, modifying his code to predict temperature variations inside chemical films and gels that were moving on a conveyor and instabilities are more severe when the condenser is in zero whose top surfaces were exposed to condensing steam. Dr. Narain has also successfully completed several other industry gravity (NASA project). projects for Fernstrum Corp., EMP, Inc., General Motors, and Proctor and Gamble that involved fluid flow and heat transfer Undaunted, Narain developed a way to isolate the condenser simulations for applications of interest to the sponsors. from “noise” in the upstream and downstream flows and to create an active control for the inlet and exit conditions to As his research progresses, Narain continues to be active in the achieve steady state. He and his research team have proposed Michigan Tech community. He teaches Fluid Mechanics and a technology to achieve steady state and to identify the range Heat Transfer, and advises both graduate and undergraduate of operations for any given heat flow. The research has led to students. Narain challenges his students as he challenges the development of a state-of-the-art experimental laboratory himself, encouraging them to approach their understanding and a direct computational simulation tool. Narain adds, “We with a good mix of “How?” and “Why?” He cautions, “Always believe we are the first to establish, both theoretically and question what you know, and keep a sense of humility about the experimentally, new exit condition categories for condensing knowledge you think you have.” flows within which one must identify the better known sub- categories of different flow regimes.” A recent journal article on the experimental support of simulation results has received nearly unanimous support from the reviewers and is in press for publication.

Developing Measurement Technologies Equally satisfying, says Narain, was the development of a solution to a problem that stemmed from his two-phase flow research. In order to make accurate simulation predictions, it was necessary to make instantaneous thickness measurements of the liquid on the condensing surface without disturbing the flow. Faced with unsuitability of available instruments designed for this purpose, Narain invented a non-intrusive fiber-optic sensor that uses light beams and fluorescence to With vapor moving from left to right, the streamline patterns and the

Charles D.VanVan Karsen

At the lectern, a tall, imposing fi gure leans over his tablet PC and scans the eyes of his students, reading faces and body language to gauge comprehension. In this moment of silence, he senses the need to reinforce the vibrations theory he has just presented. Putting down the stylus, he steps back and asks rhetorically, “Now, where might we see this theory in action?” With that query, Professor Chuck Van Karsen, NVH expert, launches into a detailed story from his time as a consultant in the “engineering trenches,” working on the reduction of vibration in washing machines. It is here, at the intersection of engineering theory, practice, and education that Van Karsen turns everyday experience into a pedagogical tool. He says, “Teaching is my passion. I love sharing my experiences from the fi eld.”

Van Karsen’s widely recognized NVH expertise was After leaving Cincinnati Milacron, he spent seven years as built upon solid engineering ground. He earned his a consultant with Structural Kinematics, solving the most BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from complex NVH problems and ultimately establishing himself Cincinnati University, completing seven quarters as a co- as an expert in the fi eld.

At the at Michigan Tech came at an ideal time, when Van Karsen was recommendation of Dr. Bill Shapton, then a University working 10- to 12-hour days and spending little time with his of Cincinnati faculty member and later a Michigan Tech young family. Once again, Bill Shapton acted as a catalyst professor, Van Karsen accepted a position in Cincinnati for Van Karsen’s professional advancement. He encouraged Milacron’s NVH department after his graduation. him to accept a faculty position in the ME-EM Department, where Van Karsen’s world-class expertise in NVH would be a NVH Industry Experience valuable resource for students and faculty. Eager for a change Van Karsen began his professional career at a pivotal point of pace, Van Karsen accepted the position at Michigan Tech in the development of vibration analysis technology. He in 1987. He declares, “We moved to Houghton and never notes, “I got into the fi eld at a very interesting time, where looked back.

It was exciting, Teaching was a natural transition for Van Karsen, who and I encountered something new every week.” During his had often led seminars and technology training workshops 12 years in industry, he played an active role in the discovery while in industry. He states that the trick to communicating of new methods and possibilities that arose from these dense technical material to students is to fi nd the fun in the emerging technologies. Faculty

fundamentals. “You’ve got to stay technically sound, but you can’t get too serious.” In class, he draws on his wealth of industry experience to illustrate technical concepts, relating anecdotes that demonstrate practical applications of the theory.

Van Karsen also believes in the importance of hands-on learning in the classroom, finding it an effective way to engage students—often with inspiring results. “I give students a challenging problem or project to teach them to apply the fundamentals. I help them discover that when they think about the problem and proceed carefully, they can see reality through the theory. When it works, it’s great to hear them say, ‘Wow! The system responded as we predicted!’ That look of understanding and satisfaction on a student’s face is what drives me.”
