Information / Communication Technologies

The ability to rapidly and effectively process and communicate information is central to success in the modern world.  Engineers in Information / Communication Technologies work in every sector of the economy, from manufacturing and telecommunications, to services, entertainment, and finance.


Shalinee Kishore, P.C. Rossin Assistant Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering, is creating wireless networks in areas of the country that currently have little or no Internet or cell phone access. More...






Qiaoqiang Gan, a Ph.D. candidate, and his advisor, Professor Filbert Bartoli, both of Electrical & Computer Engineering, are learning how to slow or stop light waves across the various regions of the spectrum. Through these efforts, they intended to allow for precision in transmission of data required by applications such as biosensing and medical imaging. More...




As a student concentrating in computer engineering, Curtis MacDonald ’05 recognized a gap in how existing technology products and services integrate to provide computer access to wireless networks. Now, Curtis and his Lehigh partners run their own firm – hField Technologies – a tech start-up with enormous long-term potential. More...




In the department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, P.C. Rossin Assistant Professor, Tiffany Li, is saving time, space, and money in the world of wireless communication by creating smart codes that will decrease noise levels over radio frequencies. More...





Lehigh University teamed up with the University of Pennsylvania and Lockheed Martin to design a robotic car that is able to independently respond to its surroundings and make wise traffic decisions. The team competed in the finals of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. More...




Judy Marks '84 is the President of Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security Solutions. The company specializes in traffic management, transportation, airport and border security, and civil agency efforts involving advanced systems for managing sensitive information. More...





Five Lehigh students—four of them Computer Science & Business majors—traveled to Peru to help Pro Mujer Peru, one of the world’s most highly regarded microfinance institutions, to create wireless technology for the organization. The team designed a software data system that would allow Pro Mujer Peru loan officers to perform credit checks remotely, eliminating the need to make multiple trips to the remote mountain villages before collecting applicant information by hand.
