The latest issue of Resolve, the Rossin College's research magazine, takes you into the new interdisciplinary AIR Lab in Building C, where robotics researchers are studying the science of autonomy. Get to know Hawk, Lehigh's newest supercomputer, and read faculty members' reflections on their experiences "teaching in the time of coronavirus."
To honor Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, students, current faculty members, and alumni share what first interested them in mechanical engineering, advice to younger students, favorite parts about being a Lehigh engineer and what AAPI Heritage Month means to them. Please join us in celebrating these individuals.

Under normal, healthy circulatory conditions, the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) keeps to itself. The large and mysterious glycoprotein moves through the blood, balled up tightly, its reaction sites unexposed. But when significant bleeding occurs, it springs into action, initiating the clotting process.
Sam Banks wanted to be an engineer, and had heard about Lehigh’s reputation as an outstanding engineering school. “Also, I figured it must be the right place, considering that the student body was known as the Lehigh Engineers,” Banks joked.
Bioengineering researchers at Lehigh have identified a previously unknown interaction between receptors in human cells and the spike, or “S,” protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This new information could aid in the development of new strategies to block SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells.
