This should be her too. A very distinguished career.

1989
Frances E. Lockwood
1976 M.S.
1978 PhD Chemical Engineering

Frances Lockwood, the second woman to receive a Ph.D. from Penn State's Chemical Engineering Deparment, was employed upon graduation as an Associate Senior Research Engineer at the General Motors Research Labs. From there she went to Martin Marietta Laboratories, working as a senior scientist in the Aluminum Fabrication Department. When the opportunity arose in 1984 to resume research in tribology, the study of lubricants and the wear of materials, a research interest developed and practiced while at Penn State, Dr. Lockwood quickly seized the opportunity and joined the technology Division of Pennzoil. She currently manages research in tribology, materials and corrosion, characterization, and analytical chemistry.

She is the holder of four patents and the co-author of over thirty publications. Dr. Lockwood's contributions to Penn State's Department of Chemical Engineering are many. Through her efforts, Pennzoil supports a graduate student in the Department and she acts as a co-advisor for the student. She also is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department and has input in many areas of the Tribology/Lubrication Program. Currently, she is organizing Penn State alumni in Houston and serving on the Department's Industrial and Professional Advisory Council.

Current as of 1989

Oustanding Penn State hall-of-fame career. Very well done. (Wish she would consider contributing comments to BITOG!)

That thought crossed my mind too. Let's go further....

..maybe she can torture some research plebe in a way that we can take advantage of

I doubt that someone like her has time for internet browsing. Dr. Haas is a rare professional that affords such distractions. She's surely on 15 (or more) conference committees ...holds positions on a few associations ....and manages to do her job in the private sector (although I'm sure that her contract is quite liberal in terms of latitudes she's afforded).

Well, as the story goes from one of the 3 or 4 participants in the decision...there was a rif between a Sr. Executive and a Sr. Technical Executive about the recommended mileage for the label. The top Exec wanted 100,000 to match the European 100k and the Technical Exec. wanted 50,000 where most engines begin to show signs of wear. So, they decided to split the difference and go with 75,000 and the rest is history.

A rather superficial match.
