Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the
talk page of a
relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant
WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.
Rachel Getman (born December 21, 1979) is a Professor and the Bernice L. Claugus Endowed Chair of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The Ohio State University. She does research in computational catalysis[1][2][3] and computational separations[4][5][6]. She is known for her work using multiscale modeling to quantify entropies of hydration in heterogeneously catalyzed systems[7][8][9][10]. Her group developed a method that combines classical molecular dynamics with density functional theory for this purpose.[11] They coined the method "multiscale sampling".
Education
Getman earned dual BS degrees in chemical engineering and business administration from Michigan Technological University in 2004. She earned her PhD from the University of Notre Dame in 2009, where she was awarded a Center for Research Computing Graduate Student Award for outstanding contributions in the areas of computational sciences and visualization[12][13] and the Eli J. and Helen Shaheen Award in Engineering for excellence in research.[14][15] She also won a Graduate Student Award from the Computational Molecular Science and Engineering Forum of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers for excellence in research.[16] Getman was a postdoctoral research fellow at Northwestern University from 2009-2011. Getman's PhD work was supervised by Bill Schneider and her postdoc work was supervised by Randy Snurr.
Career
Getman became an assistant professor at Clemson University in 2011. In 2017, she became the first female faculty member to receive tenure in Clemson University's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.[17] In 2020, she was awarded the Murdoch Family Endowed Professorship for prominence in research, scholarship, and teaching.[18] Getman was promoted to Full Professor by Clemson University in 2022.[19] In 2023, she joined the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The Ohio State University as a Professor and the Bernice L. Claugus Endowed Chair.[20]
In teaching, Getman is known for her efforts to minimize out-of-pocket costs of taking classes. She was awarded a Professor of Affordable Learning Award from the South Carolina Affordable Learning Group.[21] She has published full courses on chemical reactor design and molecular aspects of chemical engineering as well as a project on social responsibility in chemical manufacturing on Canvas Commons.[22] She also published a playlist of lectures on chemical reactor design on YouTube.[23]
