ECE researcher Wenxin Liu awarded two ONR grants—totaling $900,000—for algorithmic design and hardware experimentation that could lead to advances in civilian microgrid technology

Wenxin Liu’s research has been funded by the Office of Naval Research for the past 10 years. 

ChBE assistant professor, a computational chemical engineer, to advance fundamental understanding of promising approach for safe, streamlined, cost-effective biomass and CO₂ conversion

Is it possible to build safe, sustainable chemical plants on a small scale? The kind of plants that could—among other things—convert biomass into biofuel, on the very farms producing those crops?

The ISE Department is proud to announce Theodore Ralphs, Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering, as the recipient of the 2021 Lehigh University Rossin College Outstanding Doctoral Student Advising Award.

The 10th International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2020) was held virtually April 11-18, 2021, drawing 505 participants from 38 countries.

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.
