Bringing high-performance computing and machine learning closer to the action

It will likely be the first of its kind. In the world.

“No one else, to our knowledge, has tried to put such a high-speed computing cluster so close to the equipment in their labs,” says Yaling Liu, a professor of bioengineering and mechanical engineering and mechanics in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. “We believe the facility we’re proposing will have a huge impact on our campus by enabling big-data analysis and new science.” 

In memoriam: Bruce D. Fritchman, ECE professor emeritus

Lehigh alumnus Bruce D. Fritchman ’60 ’61 ’63G ’67 PhD, professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering and a former department chair, passed away on December 9, 2022, at the age of 84.

Fritchman, who earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics as well as a BS, MS, and PhD in electrical engineering from Lehigh, joined the university faculty in 1969. 

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
