New professors Lin, Swindle-Reilly and El-Monier join Ohio State CBE
LI-CHIANG LIN (PhD University of California-Berkeley), previously a research scientist at MIT, joins CBE in September 2016. His research to discover novel, energy-efficient and cost-effective materials for energy-related applications uses large-scale computational screenings and molecular simulations. His methodology integrates multi-scale computational techniques to achieve more accurate simulation predictions and more efficient screenings.
Dr. Lin first published in 2012 with papers in Nature Materials and Nature Chemistry. Both papers have been cited over 100 times (per Google Scholar).
To date, he has 32 peer-reviewed articles and his research has been featured on the covers of Angewandte Chemie, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, and ChemPhysChem.
Additional publications in high impact journals include Nature Communications (four papers), Nano Letters, Journal of the American Chemical Society (six papers), and Energy & Environmental Science.
He also received several awards and fellowships such as the 2013 DOW Excellence in Teaching Award, Chevron Fellowships (2012-13), the 2012 AIChE Separations Division Graduate Student Research Award, and six Presidential Awards (top 5% of students) at National Taiwan University.

KATELYN SWINDLE-REILLY (PhD Washington University-St.Louis), most recently a senior scientist at Rochal Industries overseeing wound care and soft tissue regeneration products, begins a 25% tenure-track post in CBE this fall. Her research focus is the biomimetic design of optimized biomaterials for tissue repair. She holds two patents and has been a sub-awardee PI on eight grants totalling over $5 million (NIH, NSF, and DOD).

ILHAM EL-MONIER (PhD in petroleum engineering, Texas A&M University-College Station), currently a lecturer and post-doc at The University of Oklahoma in their petroleum and geological engineering program, will begin this fall as a clinical assistant professor in CBE’s new petroleum engineering track. Her industry training includes working as a reservoir engineer in the Cairo office of BP and other stations in Egypt. Her research interests include fluid mechanics and petrophysics and fracturing and image analysis of hydraulic fractures in various substrates.
Congratulations and welcome to all new faculty!
