Lehigh and Cornell to design a unified framework for analyzing probabilistic algorithms for stochastic optimization

Modern artificial intelligence tools rely on the use of machine learning technology, and this technology would not be possible without the availability of efficient algorithms for solving mathematical optimization problems.  Lehigh ISE is the home of a unique concentration of experts in mathematical optimization with multiple faculty members working to push the boundaries of algorithms for solving op

$1M NSF grant funds Lehigh cross-disciplinary team converging on pandemic prediction and prevention research

Imagine if researchers could predict the spread of a pandemic like they can the evolution of a hurricane. With the right data, they could help people stay out of harm’s way.

Harnessing that ability is the bold vision of a multidisciplinary team of Lehigh researchers.

The team recently received a $1 million grant in support of their proposal to examine pandemic dynamics within isolated and underserved populations. The award is part of the National Science Foundation’s new Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP) program, which is jointly funded by NSF’s Directorates for Biological Sciences, Computer Information Science and Engineering, Engineering, and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.

Catalyzing clean energy

A Lehigh University research team is playing a key role in a multi-institution Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) renewed in September by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a third round of funding to the tune of $13.2 million over four years.
