Chances are, you’ve never given much (if any!) thought to the films that coat things like your phone charger. But without them–and without their exact dimensions of thickness and hardness–the technology we rely on every day would be useless. In this episode, associate professor Nick Strandwitz explains what he calls the “magic” of atomic layer deposition, a thin film growth technique that, among many other things, helps our computers and smartphones do what they do–and do it fast.

Bioengineering and chemical and biomolecular engineering professor, currently serving as associate dean of research for Lehigh's College of Health, will take on new role as of July 28.

The P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science is pleased to announce the college’s newly promoted faculty members, as voted by the Lehigh University Board of Trustees in May 2022.

Lehigh University has joined the IBM Quantum Hub at NC State University.

Dan M. Frangopol, the inaugural Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture at Lehigh University, has been elected into the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) as an International Fellow.

Dan M. Frangopol, the inaugural Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture at Lehigh University, is a co-author of two papers recently honored with awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Papers written by Frangopol, a distinguished member of ASCE, and his current and former PhD students and postdocs have won a total of 11 awards from the society.

Dr. Carlos Romero, director of Lehigh University’s Energy Research Center (ERC), has been elected as a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

The distinction, one most prestigious in the field, recognizes outstanding achievements made by longstanding members of the professional society. Of the nearly 75,000 ASME members worldwide, fewer than 3,500 are designated as Fellows.

In an international collaboration, researchers from Lehigh University, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Germany, and the Ruđer Bošković Institute (IRB) in Croatia have demonstrated that a purely mechanical method can produce a novel, more sustainable fertilizer in a less polluting way.
