Ohio Research Scholars
Ohio Research Scholars: Recruiting World-Class Talent to Ohio
The first 10 world-renowned scientists, engineers, and researchers recruited to Ohio as part of the Ohio Research Scholars Program have set up shop on university campuses across the state. Widely recognized for their talents and expertise, Ohio Research Scholars are leading 10 collaborations between University System of Ohio schools, private universities, and industry partners on projects that support regional economic priorities.
Research Scholars |
Collaboration |
Dr. David R. Cole, The Ohio State University |
The Ohio State University Research Foundation, Ohio University, Case Western Reserve University, and University of Toledo are working to establish a collaborative cluster in Advanced Energy Systems. |
Dr. Vijayan Asari, University of Dayton |
University of Dayton, The Ohio State University, Wright State University, and Miami University are developing the Ohio Academic Research Cluster for Layered Sensing to enable the compilation of world-renowned layered sensing intellectual capital in Ohio. |
Dr. Jogguen Lee, University of Cincinnati |
University of Cincinnati, The Ohio State University and University of Dayton are accelerating the growth of an existing cluster of research competence in power and propulsion. |
| Dr. Scott Gold, University of Dayton | The Ohio State University, University of Akron, and University of Dayton are leveraging their universities' materials science strengths and expanding a research cluster to pioneer ground-breaking approaches to materials development. The cluster's goal is to accelerate materials innovation and commercialization by evaluating emergent materials at an early stage through predictive modeling and characterization. |
| Dr. Hiroshi Yokoyama, Kent State University | Kent State University and Case Western Reserve University are establishing a research cluster on the science of soft matter interfaces involving KSU's Liquid Crystal Institute and CWRU's physics and macromolecular departments. |
| University of Toledo will partner with The Cleveland Clinic's Center for Spine Health and Clinical Center for Tissue Engineering to support the development of a spinal cluster. The goals are to: catalyze externally-funded, cutting-edge basic and applied research in spinal diseases and devices, generate new Ohio-based intellectual property and spin-off companies, supplement Ohio Research Scholar Program funds through research dollars generated by scientists in the cluster, and train engineers, medical students, residents, and fellows in moving new technologies from bench to bedside. | |
| University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University will collaborate to strengthen a photovoltaics cluster by leveraging existing research activities at their universities. Areas of focus include Thin Silicon Photovoltaic Science, Photovoltaic Nanoscale Surface Science, and Solid State Photonics, Deposition Modeling and Molecular Photonics. | |
| The Ohio State University Research Foundation, Case Western Reserve University, and Wright State University will work with nine industrial/healthcare partners to develop a network of biomedical imaging excellence in Ohio in various areas of healthcare-related imaging. | |
| University of Akron and Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine will work to establish the Orthopedic Research Cluster of Northeast Ohio, which combines the work of musculoskeletal biology, polymer/material science, and clinical orthopedics. | |
| A Cleveland State University initiative will strengthen the collaborative relationship with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation in the areas of cardiovascular repair and cardiovascular tissue engineering. |
