Graduate Student Spotlight

Leading beyond the lab

ChBE doctoral candidate Myeongyeon Lee, who served as chair of the department's annual Graduate Student Symposium, was recognized with the Lehigh Graduate Engineering Leadership and Service Award for his contributions to the engineering graduate student community. Lee is researching data-driven strategies for advancing high-performance organic field-effect transistors in the Reichmanis Group.

On a path to professorship

Qi Wang, a PhD student in Lehigh's ISE program, is making strides with guidance from the Future Academic Career Experiential Training (FACET) program, which offers seminars on topics such as applying for grants and teaching. Although she initially envisioned an industry career, Wang has shifted her goal to becoming a professor. She recently co-taught her first course and plans to apply for a postdoc.

Innovative algorithms for safer robot perception

Mechanical engineering PhD student Guangyi Liu, a member of Lehigh’s Autonomous and Intelligent Robotics Laboratory (AIR Lab), is developing a framework to improve the risk awareness of robotic systems. The framework, which can be applied to any robotic system, will allow the robot to act safely with uncertain perception measurements and inputs.
