Rodney Roseman

Rodney Roseman is an Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati's School of Energy, Environmental, Biological, and Medical Engineering. He has held this position since September 2007, following roles as Associate Department Head (2006–2007), Program Coordinator for Materials Science & Engineering (2005–2008), and Director of Undergraduate Studies (2000–2008). Previously, he served as Assistant Professor (1996–2002) and Research Assistant Professor (1994–1995) at the same institution.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Ceramic Engineering, University of Illinois (1993)
• M.S. in Ceramic Engineering, University of Illinois (1992)
• B.S. in Ceramic Engineering, University of Illinois (1989)

His research integrates ceramic engineering, biomedical applications, and pedagogical innovation. Primary interests include piezoelectric cochlear implants, PTCR phenomena in barium titanate ceramics, sensor development, and microstructure analysis. He also investigates engineering education methodologies, focusing on curriculum design and student achievement.

Publications emphasize ceramics processing, piezoelectric devices for medical use, and educational strategies. Trends include advanced materials characterization (sintering, grain boundaries), biomedical device feasibility, and data-driven teaching enhancements.

Awards:

• Distinguished Teaching Professor (2008)
• Wandmacher Teaching Award (2006–2008)
• Master Educators Award (2006, 2007, 2010, 2011)
• Future of Learning: Diversity Project Award (2004)
• Dean’s Award for Educational Innovation (2001)
• Wandmacher Young Faculty Teaching Award (1999)
• Biomedical Research Seed Grant (1996–1997)

Grant leadership includes NSF-funded piezoelectric implant development ($240,000) and industry collaborations (e.g., Procter & Gamble: $59,999). He collaborates on NSF educational grants ($99,861) and engineering curriculum projects ($37,131). Committee service spans university-level academic standards, ABET accreditation, and engineering education reform.
