We’ve known for decades that catalysts speed up the reaction that reduces harmful industrial emissions. And now, we know exactly how they do it.
A recent paper by Israel Wachs, the G. Whitney Snyder Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, describes the mechanism, and was the inside back cover story of the September 2, 2019, issue of Angewandte Chemie, a journal of the German Chemical Society.
PPL Corp. supervising engineer Scott Richard Thomas ’10G ’15 MBA knows the power of connections.
His nine-years-and-counting career at a major U.S. energy company took off following a research project he did with the utility—a key part of his graduate studies in Lehigh University’s Energy Systems Engineering (ESE) professional master’s program.
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.
