Check out these examples of bioengineering faculty and student excellence at Lehigh:
Xiaolei Huang, an assistant professor of Computer Science & Engineering, has created 4-D computer model (with time as the fourth dimension) of a beating heart to measure the stress and strain that a human heart undergoes as it pumps blood. More...
Philip Bresnehan '08 , captain and president of the rowing team, gets up at 4:40 a.m. every morning for the first of two daily crew practices, but each day he still finds time for his chemical engineering classes and homework, his duties as an R.A., and working in the OSI (Opportunity for Student Innovation) lab on his hand-held device that tests for toxic chemicals in water. More...
Anand Jagota, professor of Chemical Engineering and director of the Bioengineering program, is studying the self-cleaning dry adhesive naturally found on the bottom of a gecko’s foot that allows the small creature to run up, down, or sideways on virtually any surface—even when upside down. More...
Meron Mengistu '03, '08P, who is originally from Ethiopia, will be working with a team at the Institute of Human Virology trying to develop a vaccine against the HIV virus. She earned both undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Lehigh in the area of biological science and bioengineering. More...
Sean Kessler '08 took only three years to graduate with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but still had time to do research with the controlled release of medication. More...
Steve Henry '09 spends 10 hours a week doing research, but he is also part of a number of clubs, and takes time to swim and play the piano. And in his spare time, he’s helping to create better biomedical devices through his research into microneedles. More...
Kwame Atsina '07 has long been interested in medicine, and his research in Lehigh’s Bioengineering program helped propel him into the Yale Medical School. More...
Kristen Jellison, assistant professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering, seeks to remove a common, yet hardy parasite from the public water system that manages to escape the general water-treatment filters. More...
Svetlana Tatic-Lucic, P.C. Rossin Assistant Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering applies her knowledge of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) to cell biology and neurobiology. More...
Clare Rimnac '93G, the first woman to earn a Ph.D. from the department of Materials Science & Engineering, studies artificial knee and hip replacements as part of her job as chair of the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University. More...
Lt. Col. Theodore J. Choma, M.D. '85, who earned a B.A. in Applied Science and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering through the Arts and Engineering program, is the residency program director and chief of spine surgery at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center. More...
