1.0 Introduction

The mission of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is to produce B.S./M.S./Ph.D. graduates who can excel in leadership positions in industry and academia at

national and international levels. The goal of the department is to be ranked in the top ten Materials Science and Engineering undergraduate and graduate programs by

U.S. News and World Report. 1.1 Note from the Department Head

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has experienced unprecedented growth in the 2002-2003 academic year. Last year we had 71 graduate students and 62 undergraduate students, which represents a 17% and 5% increase respectively. We hired two very talented young faculty members, Dr. Caroline Schauer and Dr. Jonathan Spanier, into tenure-track positions, further intensifying our foray into the emerging fields of biomaterials and nanomaterials. Total new research grants received by department faculty during the past fiscal year were a record high $7.9M.

We have continued to attract major national and international recognition for our students and faculty. In the last academic year, there were a total of 28 external awards and 26 university awards to the members of our department. The most prominent recognitions include the NSF CAREER Award to Dr. Li, the R&D 100 listing for Dr. Gogotsi’s work, the BioAdvance Fund award to Dr. Marcolongo, and the selection as an ASM Fellow for Dr. Knight. Our students and faculty have continued to publish their quality research in high impact factor journals. Last year, two papers were published in Nature Materials and two papers in Advanced Materials. This past year, we have formally established the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (Dr. Y. Gogotsi, Director), and helped with the establishment of the Drexel Plasma Institute (Dr. R. Knight, Associate Director) with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics. We have also formally established the Centralized Materials Characterization Facility as a recharge center and as a university-wide resource. We have added significantly to our research infrastructure during the past year, with the acquisition of a number of state-of-the-art equipment in anticipation of setting up world-class laboratories in the new Bossone Resesarch Enterprise Center, to be ready by 2004. These include a state-of-the-art ESEM, micro-FTIR, AFM, ellipsometer, and porosimeter. The combined replacement value of these pieces of equipment is about $1.2M. We have also invested about $300K into physical renovations of laboratory space for better appearance and working conditions for our faculty and students. Finally, our efforts at fundraising for the department have started to produce good results. So far, we have successfully established a graduate fellowship supported by ATOFINA Chemicals, Inc. and a Hoeganaes Endowed Professorship for Powder Metallurgy in Materials Science and Engineering. We have also initiated a fundraising drive for a new Endowment for our department.

1.2.1 Departing Faculty Dr. Alan Lawley, A. W. Grosvenor Professor of Metallurgy, bid farewell to the department after 36 years of service to Drexel. Throughout his career at Drexel University, Alan has played a leading role in the department, from its start as the Department of Metallurgical Engineering to the Department of Materials Engineering in 1975 and in 2003 to the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. He served as department head from 1969-1979 and again from 1992-1998. Alan’s research work helped build a strong research tradition for our department that continues to thrive. He was a PI on one of the first large government research grants (at least $1M from THEMIS) to come into Drexel. It was not only significant from a monetary standpoint; the grant was multi-disciplinary, involving PIs from other departments within the college, as well as departments outside of the college. Alan also has played a significant role in the College of Engineering as a whole, particularly through his work in helping to develop and reform the undergraduate curriculum. His sabbatical in 1975 was spent at the Open University in Great Britain where he learned their methods of “distance learning”. He worked with the College of Engineering in developing DSI (Decentralized Sequenced Instruction) where students received modules to study from while they were on industry assignments. He was instrumental in the development and teaching of Drexel’s novel “E4” program—the precursor to what we now know as tDEC. The results of Alan’s research have led to over three hundred technical papers, one authored book, and seven edited collections. He holds one patent and has a second pending. He has delivered over three hundred lectures, seminars, and technical papers and has been active in the organization of colloquia, workshops, and conferences on materials engineering and engineering education at the local, national, and international level. Throughout his career, Alan has received numerous awards and accolades, including the Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award (1979), the Albert Easton White Distinguished Teacher Award of the American Society for Metals (1982), the Distinguished Service to Powder Metallurgy Award of the Metal Powder Industries Federation (1991), the Educator Award of the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) in February 2002, the 2004 Eisenman Award from the ASM International Liberty Bell Chapter, and the College of Engineering’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering—one of only three at Drexel, a Fellow of APMI International and ASM International, and a former President of the Metallurgical Society (1982) and of AIME (1987). He is currently the Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Powder Metallurgy.

1.2.2 New Faculty Hires The Department welcomes two new faculty members: Dr. Caroline Schauer and Dr. Jonathan Spanier. Both professors are working in cutting-edge materials fields, with Dr. Schauer’s interests steeped in the field of biomaterials and biotechnology and Dr. Spanier’s work based in nanotechnology. When asked about the unique approaches that he hopes to bring to the department, Dr. Spanier stressed that his academic background and experience in both engineering and in physical science will help link materials science and materials engineering here. Dr. Schauer emphasizes that her work as a “hybrid scientist,” someone who combines chemistry, biology, and materials science and engineering, is an asset that will be useful to the department. Dr. Caroline Schauer Dr. Schauer received her B.S. in chemistry from Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin before completing her M.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She has worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, and at Tufts University. Before joining Drexel, Schauer was an NRC Resident Research Associate at the Naval Research Lab’s Center for Bio/Molecular Science and Engineering, where she was working on thin biopolymer films. Dr. Schauer is currently focusing on the development of an optical array for the detection of heavy metal ions. The thin biopolymer films of cross-linked chitosan are sensitive for specific aqueous metal ions and her research is to exploit this sensitivity into a sensor array.

2.2 MATE 100 Course The MATE 100 Course, “Materials, Technology and Mankind,” is a unique recruiting tool that has been employed by the department since the fall of 1974. It began as a 3 day course and was shortened to 2 days about 5 years later. The course is designed to give incoming students exposure to materials science and engineering. The course alternates lectures with hands-on labs to teach some of the very fundamental aspects of materials. Students are required to write a paper or participate in a project in order to receive their grade. The students love coming to campus early to find their way around before the term starts. In their own words, “the key strengths of the course were a strong emphasis on the importance of materials in engineering, a good overview of the different types of materials used in industry, and a decent hands-on approach to learning.” 2.3 List of Graduates Ph.D. Degrees: Ashraf Abd El-Fattah Ali, “Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Carbon Nano Composite Fibrils by Electro-spinning” Supervising Professor: Frank Ko Currently working as a professor of mechanical engineering at Zagazig University, Egypt Abhishek Bhattacharyya “Investigating the Evolution of Grain Scale Microstructure during Large Plastic

4.2 Industrial Interactions Drs. Michele Marcolongo and Tony Lowman Receive $405,000 for their Company Gelifex, Inc.

Drs. Michele Marcolongo and affiliated faculty member Anthony Lowman’s company Gelifex, Inc. received $405,000 from BioAdvance, the Biotechnology Greenhouse of Southeastern Pennsylvania. On April 24th, BioAdvance announced the selection of seven recipients for the first round of funding provided by its $20 million Greenhouse Fund. Initiated to support life sciences technologies, the Greenhouse Fund invests in commercially-promising technologies in the area of human health. Each recipient received between $300,000 and $500,000.

Drs. Marcolongo and Lowman formed Gelifex, Inc. in June 2002. The company is developing two polymer-based hydrogels, Gelifex SP and Gelifex IP, which, when inserted or injected into the dehydrated nucleus pulposus (the center gel-like region of the spine’s intervertebral discs), will relieve pain and restore motion to patients suffering from degenerative disc disease of the lower back. Current surgical practice for chronic back pain frequently involves plates, screws, and rods that assist or induce the fusion of the spine. Gelifex SP and Gelifex IP offer less costly and less invasive options to fusion—and may also provide longer lasting relief than traditional treatments. Surgical alternatives to fusion are expected to be a $600-$650 million market opportunity. 4.2.1 Patents Intellectual Property productivity continues to be strong.
