Interdisciplinary Lehigh research team wins NSF support for next-generation surface analysis
A Lehigh University research team led by Dr. Israel E. Wachs, the G. Whitney Snyder Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Lehigh University, has been awarded a highly-competitive grant from the National Science Foundation to support research in nanotech science and engineering.
Created by Professor Dan M. Frangopol and his former PhD student You Dong from Lehigh University, the computational procedure was applied to a group of single-family residential buildings located in Miami-Dade County, Florida
Donald M. Bolle, who served as dean of engineering and filled several other leadership roles during his 14-year career with Lehigh, died Oct. 24 at his home in Coopersburg, Pa. He was 84 years old.
Bolle joined the Lehigh faculty in 1980 as chair of the department of electrical engineering. He was dean of what was then called the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences from 1981 to 1988.
The 100th birthdate of Dr. Lynn Beedle, a man known for his contagious passion for tall buildings, occurs December 7, 2017.
Computer science and engineering professor lauded for innovation, teaching, and leadership
Professor Mooi Choo Chuah of Lehigh University's P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science has been named a 2017 Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).

A home thermostat automatically establishes a comfortable environment for its occupants. A washing machine sends a text message when its cycle is complete. Lights throughout a house are controlled with a tap and swipe on a tablet, saving Dad a final trip down the stairs before bed.
With the grant, Wachs will research energy-related topics
Israel E. Wachs, the G. Whitney Snyder Professor in the chemical and biomolecular engineering department at Lehigh University, has been awarded a Fulbright Senior Scholar Fellowship to study at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel during the spring semester of the 2018-19 academic year.
As you go about your day, you undoubtedly benefit from the research behind epoxy adhesives, though you might not be aware of them. These industrial-strength synthetic materials are used to hold together your car, snowboard, boat and golf clubs. In fact, wherever a high-strength bond with resistance to environmental conditions is needed, you’ll find an epoxy keeping things coupled.
An epoxy resin starts off as a "liquid reactive polymer" that, when mixed, will undergo a chemical reaction and eventually cure to form a solid plastic material.
The scheduling of surgeries in a hospital operating room is a process fraught with uncertainty. The most carefully planned day can be upended by the unexpected arrival of a patient requiring an emergency operation. If a surgeon needs more time than expected to complete a procedure, if a patient shows up late or if a nurse has to call out sick, an entire day’s procedures can be delayed.
