Research and Resources

Lehigh supports a wealth of faculty expertise, graduate student projects, and research information and instrumentation available to students interested in these pursuits. Examples of major initiatives include the following:

  • Lehigh’s Energy Research Center (www.lehigh.edu/energy) is a multidisciplinary research group involving professional staff, faculty, and students. As the focal point for energy related research at Lehigh, the Center manages the University’s energy research program and serves as the main energy research contact between the University, industry and government. Faculty, staff, and students connected to the Center participate in many aspects of energy research, with major emphasis on energy conversion, power generation and environmental control, and maintain particularly close ties with industry.
  • The Environmental Initiative (www.ei.lehigh.edu) supports a variety of research projects across all four colleges of Lehigh University. EI-affiliated faculty, students and staff conduct research in areas as varied as communications, earth science, economics, policy, and geoenvironmental engineering.
