Faculty Honors & AwardsMaciek R.Antoniewicz,DuPont YoungProfessor in theDepartmentof ChemicalEngineering atthe University ofDelaware, hasbeen awarded a prestigious NationalScience Foundation (NSF) Faculty EarlyCareer Development Award to study therole of metabolism in cellular behavior.The NSF Career Award, which includesa 400,000 grant, will supportAntoniewicz’s research and educationprogram at UD on metabolic engineeringand systems biology.Antoniewicz’s research proposes toquantify the metabolic state of cellsusing a novel measurement techniquecalled tandem mass spectrometry. Apowerful tool for obtaining structuralinformation of molecules, tandemmass spectrometry has previously beenused to reveal the structure of a varietyof small to medium sized molecules,including organic molecules, lipids andfatty acids, peptides, carbohydrates, aswell as DNA and RNA adducts.Antoniewicz intends to develop anew and universal framework forusing tandem mass spectrometry andstable-isotope tracer experiments forelucidating complex biological networkmodels and estimating metabolicfluxes. He hopes this work will providethe groundwork needed to advanceapplications such as engineeringorganisms to make alternative fuels anddeveloping next generation drugs totreat metabolic diseases.If successful, his work will introduce anew method of MFA, provide improvedtechniques for validating flux results andimprove basic knowledge on metabolicnetwork operations of two importantmicroorganisms, E. coli and yeast.Under the grant, he also hopes toincorporate quantitative systemsbiology principles as an integral partof chemical engineering education atUD and increase the participation ofunderrepresented student groups inresearch, which he says will “contributeto the training of a new generation ofengineers and scientists needed to drivethe emerging field of systems biologyand its biological applications.”“The project provides uniqueopportunities to train and educatestudents in an interdisciplinaryenvironment,” explained Antoniewicz.“Infusion of state-of-the-art research intoa classroom firmly based in biologicalprinciples will better prepare students tomake intelligent and effective decisionsin their future careers in biotechnologyand related fields.”Antoniewicz has won a number ofinternational honors and awards,including the 2008 DuPont YoungProfessor Grant and the 2008 JamesE. Bailey Young Investigator Award inMetabolic Engineering.JingguangChen, Claire D.LeClaire Professorof ChemicalEngineering, hasreceived UD’s2011 Excellencein Advising andMentoring Award,an honor based on student nominations.Recipients receive 2,500 and aninscribed brick in UD’s Mentors’ Circle.“I interact with undergrads mainly astheir research adviser. My philosophy onadvising is to first identify the educationbackground and research interest ofan individual student. I then choosea research topic that matches his/herinterest. During the course of research, Iprovide guidance but strongly encouragethe student to work independently.Many of the undergraduates from mygroup went on to top graduate schools;and two students won the prestigiousGoldwater Fellowship, the highest honorfor engineering undergraduate students,”reflected Chen.Chen also received the 2011 HermanPines Award in Catalysis at the 2011Catalysis Club of Chicago SpringSymposium in Naperville, Illinois. Givenannually, the award recognizes anindividual with significant contributionsto catalysis in either fundamentalresearch or industrial processes.A world leader in surface sciencestudies of carbide and bimetalliccatalysts, Chen’s work has shortenedlong standing materials and pressuregaps critical in converting fundamentalscience to industrial practice using aunique combination of surface science,theoretical modeling, catalysis andin-situ reactor studies, leading to thedevelopment of novel concepts andcatalytic materials for a wide range ofchemical reactions.Wilfred Chen,Gore Professorof ChemicalEngineering, waselected to theAmerican Institutefor Medicaland BiologicalEngineering(AIMBE) College of Fellows, Class of2011, for his notable contributionsin environmental biotechnology andbiosensing of pathogens, and forpioneering synthetic cellulosomes forbioethanol production.(continued)6Chemical Engineering 2011
FacultyLeadership, service, visionDr. Morton Collins, B 1958, is an institution in theDepartment of Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware.From his early days as a student tohis dedicated service as chairmanof the Advisory Council over thepast 26 years, Collins has workedtirelessly to promote, grow andprosper the department.Collins, general partner of BattelleVentures and Innovation ValleyPartners, was honored October 13,2010, for his over 26 years of service.Leadership“Mort brought leadership to ourdepartment,” said T.W. Fraser Russell,Allan P. Colburn Professor Emeritus in theDepartment of Chemical Engineering.“The presence of the advisory councilhas been a terrific morale booster tothe faculty. If you look at rankings, theUniversity of Delaware is by far thesmallest university in the high endchemical engineering programs.”The advisory council’s function is to assistthe department in managing the needsof faculty, staff and students. As chairman,Collins has been the voice of thedepartment within the broader universitycommunity, meeting with deans ofengineering, the president of theUniversity and the provost annually toaddress departmental needs. Dr. Collins,among his many philantrophic activities,has endowed a graduate fellowship inthe chemical engineering department atthe University of Delaware.“It is critical when you are trying toimprove a program that you havesomeone involved that understands thenon-quantifiable values of that program,”explained Russell.“Mort understands what the departmentdoes beyond sponsored research, beyondthe papers and other things because ofhis business experience. In my view, heunderstands that the most importantthing universities do can’t be measured,they have to be felt by the faculty, staffand the students they impact.”“The University of Delaware had adramatic impact on my life. My entireawakening to all things cultural andotherwise happened here at thisUniversity,” recalled Collins, a 1989University of Delaware Medal ofDistinction award winner.ServiceA true visionary, Collins chaired PresidentRonald Reagan’s Task Force on Innovationand Entrepreneurship and served astechnology policy advisor to PresidentGeorge H.W. Bush. He served on theNew Jersey Governor’s Commissionon Science and Technology; the NewJersey Governor’s SuperconductivityRoundtable and is a member of theResearch Roundtable of the NationalAcademy of Sciences.VisionDuring Collins’ tenure as chairman ofthe chemical engineering departmentadvisory council from 1984 to 2010, thedepartment has grown to one of the topten chemical engineering programs inthe nation. Undergraduate and graduateenrollments have grown by 27.7 percentand 27.2 percent respectively, and facultyhas increased by 44.7%.Yet Collins remains humble, listing “tellingCollins’ career is a testament to hard work,it like it is” as his biggest contribution.commitment and service.
