Materials researcher developing new method of growing bulk single-crystal nitrides—an advance that could lead to more-efficient, less-costly electronic devices and innovative manufacturing tools

Every discipline has its holy grail. For Siddha Pimputkar, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, it’s cubic boron nitride.

Wojciech Z. Misiolek, Loewy Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and department chair, was quoted in the June 2021 issue of Tribology & Lubrication Technology (TLT), a monthly publication of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE).

Lehigh’s innovative Pasteur Partners PhD (P3) Fellowship—a launchpad for advanced students who are focused on creating immediate impact in their fields through use-driven research—is featured in the May/June 2021 issue of Diversity in Action magazine. 

MechE professor Keith Moored partners on multi-institutional hydrofoil turbine project that could help generate cleaner, more cost-effective energy for cities and rural communities alike

Hydroelectric power provides an alternative to fossil fuels, but not all generation methods are equally clean or economically viable. 

Professor Steven McIntosh, an expert in materials chemistry and electrochemistry, has been named chair of Lehigh's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChBE), effective July 1, 2021.

Nicholas Strandwitz, an associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been appointed as director of Lehigh’s Integrated Nanofabrication and Cleanroom Facility (INCF), effective July 1, 2021. 

ISE is proud to announce that Tamás Terlaky, Kledaras Endowed Chair Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering, was the recipient of the 2021 Lehigh University Rossin College Excellence in Research Scholarship and Leadership Award.

Terry Hart, a professor of practice in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics and a former NASA astronaut, took part in a virtual event on the topic of women and the space program, presented by PBS39. 

The event, held in March during Women’s History Month, included a screening of “The Future is Female: Women, Space and NASA” (a preview of upcoming PBS39 documentary special “Moon-to-Mars: The Next Giant Leap”) and a panel discussion.
