Student Success

Cong Han and Christopher Ruhl are mechanical engineering PhD students in the Rossin College. Their research on tidal turbines may someday help tidal energy become a viable alternative energy source.

“My work is in the area of turbulent flow and specifically the production and the analysis of turbulent flow on its interaction with tidal stream turbines,” says Ruhl. “The approach we take is unique in the capabilities we have to reproduce tidal current in a laboratory setting.”

Marcos Leal ’23 was lucky to be able to go back to Guatemala right before the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020. There, the Integrated Business & Engineering (IBE) student noticed there were a number of local small businesses—people selling their cookies from their house, or selling their art online on Instagram—that were basically existing by word of mouth alone.

Onoriode Ogidi-Ekoko ’15 ’16G was 5,400 miles from his native home when he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in electrical engineering in August 2021 to earn his PhD from Lehigh University. 

But the Nigerian-born Ogidi-Ekoko, who goes by Onos, is right at home talking about his research into power electronics and semiconductors. 

Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) student Helen Tynes ’22 is featured in the latest issue of Lehigh Business magazine. Tynes is majoring in mechanical engineering and economics and is an admissions tour guide, a member of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society, a 2021 recipient of the Bond Memorial Prize, and president of Lehigh's Beekeeping Club.
