Catalysis Club of Philadelphia poster competition, awardee Rzepa

The Catalysis Club of Philadelphia’s (CCP) Annual Student Poster Session was held on Wednesday, June 8th, 2022, at the Inn at Villanova University, where Christopher Rzepa, ChBE's John C. Chen Endowed Fellow, and Ph.D. Candidate, was named runner up as the Best Poster for his research titled: "Developing data-driven structure-entropy relations for host-guest interactions in siliceous zeolites". Rzepa is mentored by Prof.

Fei Jia: Advancing the boundaries of laser technology

When Fei Jia goes to work in Lehigh’s Sinclair Laboratory, he knows there’s a possibility that things might get a little chilly.

On days when the PhD student in electrical and computer engineering isn’t fabricating laser chips in the Integrated Nanofabrication and Cleanroom Facility, he’s likely penetrating the polyethylene sheets with highly specialized lasers that require extremely cold temperatures (i.e., 60–70 degrees Kelvin, or about -350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Nick Yang ’21 ’22G: Launching an engineering career with the Navy

When you think of the U.S. Navy, the image of researchers using scanning electron microscopes to study alloys probably doesn’t come to mind.

But that’s exactly the type of work that Nick Yang ’21 ’22G is doing for the Navy as a research assistant while he’s enrolled in Lehigh University’s master’s degree (MS) program in materials science and engineering (MSE).

Lehigh has a long-standing research partnership with the U.S. Navy to find ways of improving the performance of ships and other maritime systems.

ChBE graduate student awarded $1,500 Philadelphia STLE scholarship

The Philadelphia Section of the STLE is pleased to award a $1,500 scholarship to second year Lehigh University graduate student Jasreen Kaur, in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department. Working under the direction of Professor Anand Jagota, and in conjunction with Cornell University and the Michelin Corporation, Kaur’s thesis project is titled “Meso-Scale Mechanisms for Friction in Structured Soft Materials: Elastic Hysteresis and Dislocation Arrays.”
