NSF supports effort to enable academic researchers of every variety to find the data they need
There was a time—not that long ago—when the phrases "Google it" or "check Yahoo" would have been interpreted as sneezes, or a perhaps symptoms of an oncoming seizure, rather than as coherent thoughts.
Today, these are key to answering all of life's questions.
Lehigh's civil engineering program recognized among best in the world by ARWU
The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) recently listed Lehigh's civil engineering program among the best in the world, topped only by programs at Tongji University of Shanghai, China, and the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland.
To test for malignancy or monitor the effectiveness of cancer treatment, a person’s tissue must be extracted, sent to a lab, stained and analyzed by a pathologist—a process that can take days to complete and is subject to human error.
Xuanhong Cheng, associate professor of materials science and engineering, and James Hwang, professor of electrical and computer engineering, have something different in mind.
Lehigh has partnered with Brookhaven National Laboratory, the first of its kind between NSLS-II and an academic research institution
Joachim Grenestedt, professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics and director of Lehigh’s Composites Lab, and John Spletzer, associate professor of computer science and engineering and head of the VADER robotics laboratory, have collaborated on a groundbreaking project using self-driving watercraft.
NSF supports Lehigh interdisciplinary research effort to engineer a living neural network
Will the computers of tomorrow be manufactured, or will they be cultivated?
This question lies at the heart of new research from Lehigh University that aims to engineer a neural network—a computer system modeled on the human brain and nervous system—from actual living cells, and program it to compute a basic learning task.
New research studies how people navigate a world in which data-collection is ubiquitous
Internet search engines are a treasure trove of user data. Researchers have estimated that more than 4 million search queries are entered into Google every minute.
The use of computer algorithms that can make inferences from user data about a person’s gender, age, political opinions, religious affiliations and other traits is widespread, which has raised serious privacy concerns.
Cheaper production of an unsung industrial substance could make hard stuff a lot easier
Boron nitride has a tough reputation.
Prof. Rick S. Blum, IEEE Fellow and the Robert W. Wieseman Endowed Professor in Electrical Engineering in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Lehigh University, was named an IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished Lecturer for the 2018 calendar year. Blum was previously appointed the honor in 2011.
During his 2018 term, Blum presented lecturers to:
Lehigh University to host collaborative, interdisciplinary workshops in computationally-intensive academic research
Lehigh University has racked up another win with the innovative TRIPODS+X program of the National Science Foundation (NSF.)
