Lehigh industrial engineer leads effort in comprehensive new book

Mechanical engineering assistant professor Hannah Dailey develops revolutionary orthopedic device

To heal small bone fractures — like those in a wrist, finger or ankle — a cast or splint is usually all that is needed to promote regrowth. Once stable, the bone tissue — a living material — regenerates and heals.

Lehigh's annual Materials Camp is sponsored by ASM International.

Crystal growing, 3D printing, and explosive demonstrations with thermite — a pyrotechnic substance — were all on the agenda for 16 students from area high schools during Lehigh University's 2017 Summer Materials Camp.

U.S. Rep. Charles W. Dent recently paid a visit to Lehigh’s Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (CPN) and toured its Smith Family Laboratory for Optical Technologies.

Dent, a Republican who represents Pennsylvania’s 15th congressional district, spoke for 90 minutes with CPN faculty and representatives of the photonics industry in the Lehigh Valley.

Lehigh University has established a new Department of Bioengineering in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. Formally announced on July 1, 2017, the new Department will build upon Lehigh’s popular bioengineering undergraduate and graduate programs, which were initiated in 2002 and 2009, as well as extensive interdisciplinary bioengineering research being pursued across the Rossin College and the University.

Big Data holds great promise to change healthcare for the better. But its potential will not be reached until healthcare providers improve the efficiency with which data is shared and the accuracy with which it is interpreted.

Dan M. Frangopol, the Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture in the department of civil and environmental engineering, has been elected an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy.

Founded in Bucharest in 1866, the Romanian Academy promotes the study of Romania’s literature and history and the Romanian language, as well as scientific research. The academy has 181 acting members who are elected for life.

Bioengineering professor is the recipient of the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award.

Bacteria have a formidable enemy in Wonpil Im.

Im, the Presidential Endowed Chair in Health and Professor of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, uses computational biophysics to learn how antibiotics permeate bacterial membranes and target bacteria for destruction.
