Working with big data doesn’t require wearing a lab coat, but it still can be messy.
Take it from bioengineer Jeanna Kwon ’17, a consultant at Prognos, a health care AI company based in New York City that’s focused on improving the prediction of disease—and our power to prevail over it—by analyzing patient laboratory diagnostic data.
Climate change will ultimately affect our bridges. But to what extent?
That is the essential question addressed by researchers David Yang and Dan M. Frangopol in a paper recently published in the ASCE Journal of Bridge Engineering.
Masashi Watanabe, an associate professor of materials science and engineering and a former president of the Microanalysis Society (MAS) has been recognized by the professional association as a member of its inaugural class of Fellows.
The Rossin College’s civil engineering program has been ranked among the top five in the world, according to the 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU); it was also the highest ranked U.S. program on this year’s list.
Rick Blum, Robert W. Wieseman Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, recently delivered a guest lecture at the University of California, San Diego. His talk was part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Distinguished Lecturer Program, which provides chapters of the IEEE Signal Processing Society access to well-known educators and authors in the fields of signal processing.
As a postdoctoral researcher, David Saldaña designed, built, and tested modular flying robots that could communicate with each other and autonomously self-assemble around an object to lift it up. Although the robots were transporting small items—a cup of coffee, for instance—they have the potential to accomplish more complex tasks, says Saldaña, who joined Lehigh’s computer science and engineering department as an assistant professor this fall.
The Office of Creative Inquiry is hosting a series of information sessions on the 2020 Global Social Impact Fellowship and the new Lehigh Valley Social Impact Fellowship.
Students will have the opportunity to learn more about the GSIF program, which allows undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines across Lehigh University to focus on addressing sustainable development challenges in low- and middle-income countries.
Articular cartilage exists where bones meet at the joints. This type of cartilage provides a cushioning material to protect the ends of bones and is tightly integrated with bone through a gradient region known as the osteochondral interface―osteo means related to bone, chondral related to cartilage. When articular cartilage is absent or damaged, debilitating pain results.
Technology is getting smaller―which is good news.
The ability to fabricate materials with optical, electrical, and mechanical properties out of very small particles could have far-reaching applications. For example, micro-particles grafted with DNA can be used in medicine for better sensing, imaging, and treatment delivery. An improved understanding of how these materials behave could lead to fulfilling the promise of precision medicine, among other applications.
