Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce that Professor Su Ha has accepted the position as director of the Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering.

Currently the director for O.H. Reaugh Laboratory for Oil and Gas Processing, Ha has been with Washington State University since 2005 following the completion of his chemical engineering doctoral studies at the University of Illinois – Urbana.

A two-time winner of the Voiland School Outstanding Teaching Award, Ha has published more than 70 papers in the research areas of energy generation from alternative fuels and attained a 2014 Highly Cited Researcher Award from Thomson Reuters.

Professor Ha will start in his new role on August 16.

I’d like to thank all those who participated throughout the rigorous search and selection process, and I would like to express my gratitude to interim director Alla Kostyukova and retiring director Jim Petersen for their outstanding leadership during this transition.

Please join me in welcoming Su in his new role.

Mary Rezac's signature.
