Companies can identify societal needs and challenges but don’t often have the time and resources to address them. Academics have the technical expertise, but lack exposure to the end users of their innovations.
“The global, humanity-wide importance of access to clean water is self-evident,” says clean-water champion and renowned researcher, educator, author, and inventor Arup SenGupta, “and it is not up to water scientists alone to address the issue. The world needs all of us—engineers of every stripe, businesspeople, educators, journalists, artists, and designers, among others—to learn about the challenges and engage in the search for sustainable global solutions.”
Lehigh’s Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association (ChEGA) will host its fifth annual Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Graduate Symposium on Friday, September 27, at Ben Franklin TechVentures on the Mountaintop Campus.
When Eric Krueger applied for an individual postdoctoral fellowship from the National Institutes of Health in 2017, the success rate was about 28 percent. And when he got the award—which ends on September 15—he became Lehigh University’s first NIH National Research Service Award Fellow.
“It’s really been fantastic,” says Krueger, a postdoctoral fellow in chemical and biomolecular engineering. “It has allowed me to customize what I want to do, and what I want to learn.”
