In recognition of their contributions to the field, two retired professors from the Gallogly College of Engineering have made their way onto the cover of Journal of Surfactants. The featured professors are Jeff Harwell, who served in the School of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering, and Dave Sabatini, who previously served as faculty in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science.
Journal of Surfactants, known for its focus on surface and interfacial phenomena, highlighted the work and impact of the two educators in Volume 26 Issue 3, titled “Special Issue: A Celebrations of Dr. Jeffrey Harwell and Dr. David Sabatini: Leaders, Researchers and Teachers in Applicated Surfactant Formulations.” The special issue was spearheaded by OU Ph.D. alumni Edgar Acosta, now at the University of Toronto, and Javen Weston, at Tulsa University.
The recognition comes in the wake of several faculty members from OU Engineering retiring during 2022-2023. The roster of retiring faculty includes:
- Cengiz Altan, School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
- Jeffrey Harwell, School of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering
- Rafal Jabrzemski, School of Computer Science
- Changwook Kim, School of Computer Science
- David Miller, School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
- Daniel Resasco, School of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering (effective January 2024)
- David Sabatini, School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science
“The Gallogly College of Engineering wishes only the best for these exceptional educators who have taught countless engineering students and have also significantly advanced their fields through their research and contributions,” said John Klier, Ph.D., OU Engineering dean. “Their collective legacy serves as an inspiration to both current and future generations.”
