Pankaj Sarin hopes to change the world through water treatment

After completing his doctorate in 2002 at the University of Illinois, Dr. Pankaj Sarin made a decision that would lead him toward changing the world, one drop of water at a time.

A Novel Beginning

Sarin attended the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign for his doctorate program because of its prestigious material science program. 

New research from Oklahoma State University-Tulsa shows that veterans are often perceived as lacking empathy and emotional skill sets, which has a negative impact on job opportunities.

A team of three Tulsa-based researchers have been awarded a three year, $1.9 million contract to develop environmentally sustainable processes for recovering oil and natural gas from unconventional shale resources. $1.5 million of the funding will come from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Dr. Raman P. Singh, associate dean for the OSU College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, and Dr. Hongyu Wang, professor of teaching, learning and educational sciences, were honored with OSU-Tulsa’s faculty service awards at a Welcome Back reception on Friday. The awards are OSU-Tulsa’s highest honors for faculty.

Khaled A. Sallam, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Oklahoma State University-Tulsa, has been named chair of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering Mid Continent Section.

He will begin his one-year term July 1. The organization’s Mid Continent Section was founded in 1919 and is one of the oldest in the country.
