Clay Naito, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Lehigh University, has been elected as a Fellow of the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI).

The award recognizes Naito’s outstanding contributions to the precast concrete structures industry and PCI in the areas of education, research, and service.

Arup K. SenGupta, P.C. Rossin Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering, was invited to speak at 2019 Water Week, the flagship event of the World Bank Water Global Practice, held April 2 to 4 at World Bank Headquarters in Washington, D.C.  

Recognitions, publications, and press from across the Rossin College

In a recent Los Angeles Times article, Yahong Rosa Zheng, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, comments on the communication challenges developers of undersea drones face that are not experienced by those developing aerial drones. 

Professor Manoj Chaudhury, the Franklin Howes Jr.  Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering was recently interviewed by C&E News about the possible role of silicone in the failure of brake-light switches in Subaru vehicles. 

Natasha Vermaak’s leading work on the cyclic inelastic design of materials and structures in complex multi-axial high temperature environments using her thermostructural rig is featured in a case study recently published by MTS Systems Corporation, a provider of testing and sensing solutions.

Under normal, healthy circulatory conditions, the von Willebrand Factor (vWF) keeps to itself. The large and mysterious multimeric glycoprotein moves through the blood, balled up tightly, its reaction sites unexposed. But when significant bleeding occurs, it springs into action, initiating the clotting process.  

The year 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the continuous, and uninterrupted, offering of the annual short course entitled "Advances in Emulsion Polymerization and Latex Technology", which will be held at Lehigh University on June 3-7, 2019.
