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.
Dr. Chengshan Xiao joins faculty as professor and department chair
Dr. Chengshan Xiao has joined Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science as Professor and Chandler Weaver Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Lehigh, Stony Brook, and Northwestern team with NSF to advance machine learning
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced its support of a Lehigh University-led research team that will advance machine learning by tying together techniques drawn from the fields of statistics, computer science, and applied mathematics.
Lehigh's CEE department recognized as second best program in the world by the AWRU
The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) recently listed Lehigh’s civil engineering program as the second best in the world, coming in right behind China’s Tongji University. For the department of civil and environmental engineering, it’s been a recognition 150 years in the making.
The 17-year professor - all with Lehigh - also heads the university's COR@L Laboratory
Professor Ted Ralphs was named interim chair of the department of industrial and systems engineering in August.
Srinivas Rangarajan, assistant professor in the department of chemical and biomolecular engineering, received a research grant from The American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund (ACS PRF) in September 2017.
Arindam Banerjee, an associate professor in the department of mechanical engineering and mechanics, was awarded a three-year NSF grant to study the impact of free-stream turbulence on tidal turbines.
Tidal energy is a form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from tides into electricity. Hydrokinetic power has great potential for future energy generation since the tides are more predictable than the wind and sun.
Arup K. SenGupta, P.C. Rossin Professor in the departments of civil and environmental engineering and chemical engineering at Lehigh University, has written a book, “Ion Exchange in Environmental Processes: Fundamentals, Applications and Sustainable Technology,” published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in September 2017.
Lehigh had a strong presence at the IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC) held during the first week of October 2017 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. IPC is IEEE’s flagship conference dedicated to the fields of optics and photonics.
Lehigh faculty and students from the Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (CPN), the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and the Department of Material Science and Engineering (MSE) presented nine technical talks.
