Student Success

With two internship experiences already under their belts, undergraduates Alex Perlman ’23 and Cole Kuehmann ’22 are set to return to the pioneering space-transportation company for a third summer in 2022.

Over the past two summers, Lehigh engineers Alex Perlman ’23 and Cole Kuehmann ’22 have interned at SpaceX, gaining hands-on experience in the aerospace industry while working at the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

Electrical engineering PhD student Abhishek Singh credits Lehigh’s ‘practical’ approach to graduate education—and invaluable mentoring from advisor Xiaochen Guo—with shaping his research on intelligent computer architecture. 

There’s a certain thrill that comes with knowing your research may someday impact millions of people. But with that potential comes great responsibility.

“When we do our research, we have to make sure we’re not opening up additional security problems,” says Abhishek Singh.

John Tolbert '18, a fourth-year PhD student in polymer science and engineering and member of the Chow Lab, works on characterizing the mechanical and degradation properties of solvent-cast polymer-based scaffolds and membranes. In this video, he explains how he uses 3D printing to create scaffolds that may one day help regenerate damaged knee tissue.
