Short description of research and educational contributions

Dr. Kalpana Katti is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil and

Environmental Engineering at North Dakota State University. She joined NDSU in 1997 after

receiving a Ph.D. from University of Washington in Materials Science and Engineering. At

NDSU she has established a state-of-the-art materials characterization laboratory that houses

advanced nanomechanical and infrared spectroscopic equipment as well as a Tissue Engineering

Laboratory. She has served as PI on infrastructure development grants bringing new advanced

electron microscopes with federal funding that have led to significant expansion of the Electron

Microscopy facility at NDSU. She also spearheaded a new doctoral program in Materials and

Nanotechnology at NDSU which is offered since 2006. Through a state sponsored effort, she has

led a team of researchers in the establishment of a Center for Engineered Cancer Test-Beds at

NDSU that includes engineers, pharmaceutical researchers, chemists, business and

communications faculty and serves as its Director.

Contributions to Science: Dr. Katti’s primary area of research is in tissue engineering, cancer

scaffolds, and biomimetics. Her group introduced novel engineered nanoclay nanocomposites for

biomedical applications. The biomineralization routes in nanoclays pave the way for biomimetic

tissue engineering. Due to the propensity of prostate and breast cancers to metastasize to bone,

her group has introduced for the first time a ‘cancer test-bed’ through tissue engineering that

enables humanoid testing of anticancer drugs and provides a platform for understanding the

incurable metastasized cancer. Her group has made important breakthroughs such as discovery of

third-tier of hierarchy in collagen structure, discovery of interlocking of platelets in nacre and

describing the important role of mineral protein interactions in bone mechanics.

She has received research grants totaling about $5M since 2000. She has published 178

publications including 102 publications in journals. She has received the most cited award from

the journal Colloids and Interfaces for the 2004-2007 years. She is also a NSF CAREER award

grantee. At NDSU she is engaged in promotion and tenure, teaching, NSF ADVANCE as part of

the FORWARD team(NDSUs diversity initiative for recruitment, retention and promotion of

women faculty), high performance computing, faculty and administrator search committees and

several other committees at department, college and university level. She received the Peltier

award for innovations in teaching in 2007 and the 52nd faculty lectureship award in 2011. She is

also the recipient of the Roon award from Federation of Coatings Technologies in 1999 and

Presidential Scholar award from Microscopy Society of America in 1996. She has given over 60

invited, keynote and plenary lectures at national and international conferences.

Leadership and Diversity: Dr Katti is actively involved in several professional societies in

leadership and service roles. At the Materials Research Society, she has chaired the Academic

Affairs committee, chaired subcommittee on University Chapters, been a MRS Bulletin

Organizer, and served on the New Products and Publications subcommittee of the MRS

Publications Committee. Her involvement in other societies includes chairing the Biomechanics

and Properties of Materials committees of Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, as well as

serving on molecular modeling and characterization committee of EMI and the Biomaterials

committee of TMS. She regularly organizes symposia for MRS, TMS, and MS&T. At her

institution, she has spearheaded a new doctoral program in Materials and Nanotechnology that

includes a Biomaterials focus. She gives numerous talks, organizes outreach events and

communicates the scientific advances in bone tissue engineering to North Dakota. She reviews

papers and proposals for several publishers and federal agencies in the US, Europe, Australia,

Asia and South America

Dr. Katti is an advocate for women scientists, and students and has made consistent efforts

towards increasing diversity in the STEM areas. She has also made efforts towards science

promotion in the region. These efforts are focussed at various levels of university, local and

regional outreach as well as one-on-one grassroots efforts in mentoring young female students at

NDSU campus. At NDSU she participated in the core team of faculty that put together a

successful NSF ADVANCE grant. The NSF grant helped create the FORWARD

(https://www.ndsu.edu/forward/) program with goals pertaining to recruitment, retention, and

promotion of women faculty. Dr. Katti belongs to the core FORWARD team participating in

various activities of the program. The FORWARD program has continued on campus after the

end of the NSF funding through the institutionalization of many aspects of the grant. Dr. Katti

routinely gives talks to students in the K-12 schools in the region hosts female students in her

laboratory. She teaches a graduate level course on Preparing Future Faculty (MNT745) on the

numerous issues of a faculty career, from obtaining faculty positions to promotion and

leadership. She brings case studies on mentorship to the class that always include gender issues.

She has participated in numerous state-wide activities including speaking to diverse groups

around the state about science and technology. She engages in the science advocacy issues of

Materials Research Society through participation in a core group communicating the importance

of supporting science to senators and Members of Congress in Washington DC.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

Fluid Mechanics CE 309

Fundamentals of Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials CE 686 / CE 486

Biomaterials CE 725

Preparing Future Faculty MNT 745

Materials Characterization MNT 729

Nanotechnology Modules in CE 111 (Introduction to Civil Engineering) and CE

303 (Civil Engineering Materials)

Curriculum Development: I have developed four new graduate courses at NDSU

1. CE-ME 496/686 Fundamentals of Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials

This course reviews principles of nanotechnology, nanomaterials and develops a framework for

their understanding. The basic tools of nanotechnology: nanoscale characterization, physics and

materials design are discussed in the context of current engineering applications.

2. CE 725 Introduction to Biomaterials, Materials in Biomedical Engineering.

This course covers the fundamentals of synthesis, properties, biocompatibility of metallic,

ceramic, polymeric and composite materials that are designed for replacement of biological

materials which includes hard and soft tissues. Biomaterials has been one of the most important

fields of research and development for the past few years. Researchers from very diverse

backgrounds in engineering and sciences participate in the biomedical related industry. New

trends in design of novel materials systems with applications as potential biomaterial candidates

will be discussed. It also includes topics such as response of specific tissues to biomaterials and

tissue engineering.

3. MNT 729 Materials Characterization. This course will cover basic techniques and methods

for characterization of materials. X-ray Diffraction and electron microscopy will be discussed in

detail. Also covered will be spectroscopies, NMR, FTIR and RAMAN. These techniques will be

Dr. Kalpana Katti

- 24 -

discussed in the context of characterization of composites, polymeric, metallic and ceramic

material systems. In addition there will be a laboratory component for this course where students

will do experiments in the electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction laboratories

4. MNT 745 Preparing Future Researchers. Students in the proposed program are expected to

be high quality doctoral students who are potentially employable as faculty in Universities of

high repute and also R&D divisions of large companies. This class will meet one hour per week.

During class times there will be presentations given by invited faculty from various kinds of

institutions ranging from research oriented to teaching oriented and R&D project leaders in

companies. These class sessions will be interactive, and students may have candid discussions

with speakers on their experiences.

Development and Improvement of Instructional materials

I have developed extensive teaching modules and handouts which students download from the

NDSU Blackboard CourseInfo website or are given in class. I have done this for the following

classes: Nanotechnology, Biomaterials and Fluid Mechanics. These handouts are extensive class

notes that students bring to class and can write on. I have found that due to having these handouts

students do not need to copy things from the white/black board and pay more attention in class.

Nanotechnology Modules in Existing Courses on Nanotechnology

I have developed 1-2 lecture modules on nanotechnology for CE 111 (Introduction to Civil

Engineering) and CE 303 (Civil Engineering Materials). This enables freshman and junior level

students in the department get a sense of nanotechnology developments relevant to the

engineering field and helps them stay current.

New Ph.D. program in Materials Science, Engineering and Nanotechnology

I have spearheaded a NDSU wide effort to put together a proposal for a new Ph.D. program in

Materials Science, Engineering and Nanotechnology. I researched the Ph.D. curricula of

nationally renowned Materials Science and Engineering and also Nanotechnology programs and

developed a draft curriculum for NDSU highlighting the strengths within the university. This

program was approved as of Fall 2006 after extensive university wide, state level and legislative

processes. I also served on the search committee for Director of this program.

Advising

I am an advisor to about 45 undergraduate students and 10 doctoral graduate students (out of the

10 I am a co-advisor for five). I serve (or have served) on the graduate committees of about 40

graduate students.

Personal and Professional Development to Improve Teaching Effectiveness

I became a fellow of Faculty Institute for Excellence in Learning in April 2001. I have attended

numerous pedagogical luncheons at NDSU and also teaching seminars and all day workshops

organized by FIEL. I have incorporated several of the new teaching styles presented at these

meetings such as active learning, problem based learning, cooperative learning etc. in all my

courses.
