On March 21, students traveled the world with the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department to learn about global spring traditions in varying countries, tasted new cuisines, and connected with different cultures. “It was no coincidence that we celebrated this event on the first day of Nauryz” says Joseph Menicucci, ChBE Associate Chair and Teaching Associate Professor.
According to new data from the National Science Foundation, women earned about half of all science and engineering bachelor’s degrees and associate degrees in 2020, which reflects significant progress made over the past decade.
Still, women represent only about a third of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) workforce and earn consistently lower wages than men.
The David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium, hosted by the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, takes place 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday, April 12, in Lehigh’s new Health, Science and Technology Building (124 E. Morton St., Bethlehem, PA).
The annual event brings together students from Lehigh University and Lafayette College―an academic extension of The Rivalry―to showcase undergraduate research achievement, celebrate experiential learning, and encourage students to use research to enrich their educational experiences.
Lehigh Engineering researcher Arup SenGupta has developed a novel way to capture carbon dioxide from the air and store it in the “infinite sink” of the ocean.
In collaboration with Florida International University, Lehigh expands the use of real-time hybrid simulations for natural hazards like earthquakes to wind hazards that occur under hurricane conditions
The Lehigh ISE Department is pleased to announce that Professor Lorenz (Larry) Biegler, the Covestro University Professor of Chemical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University will give the Spencer C. Schantz Technical Talk titled Optimization Strategies for Integrated Process Design and Operations on Thursday, April 27, 2023, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in MO 453, 200 West Packer Avenue, Bethlehem, PA.
Paper published in Nature - Scientific Reports provides methodology for predicting at what point during a high wind storm that powerline ignition is likely
Imagine if a virus like COVID-19 or the flu could be detected in the air so it could be contained to prevent an outbreak.
This technology exists in the form of a Raman spectrometer. The device can analyze an air sample and identify its molecular vibration signal, or the periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other. By interpreting the signal, scientists can gain information about what’s in the air and identify chemistry specific to pathogens and viruses that indicate their presence in the sample.
