Podcast appearances and mentions of christine fennessy

When Dhruv Seshadri hires a student, he doesn't care about their GPA. He wants to know their why, that intangible thing that fuels their passion and stokes their curiosity and drive to solve real world problems. For Seshadri, an assistant professor of bioengineering who works with wearable devices to improve patient outcomes, the why is personal.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.Talk to us @RossinPodcast.

Chayah Wilburs has a knack for getting young kids excited about all things engineering. She's the program manager for the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, and the head of the college's newest outreach initiative, the STEM Squad. In this episode, Chayah talks about how she turns preschoolers into little coders, gets middle schoolers amped up about careers in space, and how she's helping Lehigh students develop educational tools that will help local teachers meet new requirements in STEM education. Plus, you'll hear from Lehigh faculty who bring their research into area schools and science fairs, and a sixth-grade science educator who sees huge potential in having Lehigh students visit his classroom.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C.

Like a lot of kids, Dominic DiFranzo spent loads of time on the internet when he was growing up. It was where he could connect with other people who shared his passion for “nerdy things” like science fiction and Japanese anime. Pretty soon, the web itself captivated him–how it worked technologically, and eventually, how people built online communities. Today, he researches how to make the internet more “pro-social,” and a safer space for kids, older adults, and really, for all of us.

Javad Khazaei came to the U.S from Iran. He was the first member of his family to leave the country, and at first, the transition was a tough one. But he pushed through what he calls, “the challenge that every international student has to overcome.” Today, he's an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. In this episode, he talks about an influential trip he took as a kid with his dad, how the encouraging words of his advisor changed the course of his career, and how his research will help make our power system more robust–and will contribute to the global effort to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Growing up, Siddha Pimputkar spent summers at his grandparents' house, which meant spending lots of time figuring out how to maintain an old house and a large garden. That love of problem solving stayed with him, and he eventually turned it into a career in materials science, a discipline that, he says, connects to all the others in some shape or form. Today, he's researching a novel method of growing cubic boron nitride, a material that has the potential to–among other things–solve the very big problem of energy efficiency in electronics, and in the grid itself. It's so promising, he often calls it the “holy grail” of materials.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C.

When Farrah Moazeni started out as a chemical engineering student in Iran, she figured she'd end up working for her country's petrochemical industry. But the environmental impacts of the business made her change course. She came to the U.S. to study renewable energy and got her PhD in civil engineering. After an invaluable (and memorable!) experience working in industry, she came to Lehigh where she's now an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering researching ways to make smart water systems safer and more efficient. In this episode, she talks about working toward equitable access to resources like water, what it was like leaving everything she knew behind in Iran, how she pushed through when things got tough–and how she's helping her own international students do the same.

It's really, really hard to make something swim like a fish. But understanding just how these animals move can help in a range of applications–from the design of renewable energy devices, to underwater vehicles, and forecasting the impact of climate change on fish populations. In this episode, associate professor of mechanical engineering Keith Moored talks about how his childhood love of the ocean led him to diving with manta rays as a grad student, and eventually to a career researching bio-inspired locomotion, specifically, the fluid mechanics of fish swimming.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C.

As a kid growing up in Amman, Jordan, Karmel Shehadeh knew she wanted to one day be a professor and a researcher. Today, she is an assistant professor in the department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. And at the end of her faculty profile, she includes an unusual line. It's not a sentiment you typically come across in such write-ups, but it's targeted toward a special group of students. In this episode, you'll find out why she makes a point of including that sentence not only in her profile, but in the acknowledgement section of her research papers.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C.

Sibel Pamukcu is an expert in the field of electroremediation of soils and groundwater, and her pioneering research spans more than three decades of work. But Sibel is a pioneer of another sort as well. She was the first woman faculty member of the department of civil and environmental engineering. In this episode, she talks about becoming an engineer, her groundbreaking research, the challenges she faced in her early years in the department, and what she's learned from her colleagues today that  could have helped her back then.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C.

When Hannah Dailey says she feels like she's been at Lehigh her whole life, she means it. She did her undergrad in mechanical engineering here, came back for her master's and PhD, and today she's an assistant professor specializing in medical devices. In this episode, she talks about her journey from "terrified" transfer student to entrepreneur to helping surgeons improve patient care. She also talks about the efforts to get more female students and faculty into mechanical engineering, and the one thing she thinks everyone needs to hear.Rossin Connection is hosted and produced by Christine Fennessy, with support from the Dean's office at the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.

How can we get more students interested in chemical engineering? Ask the students. The result of that somewhat novel approach is a new course called Coffee and Cosmetics: Engineering of Consumer Products.  In this episode, Professor James Gilchrist shares the origin story of the class, the unique role of its creators, and how for the first time in his teaching career, Gilchrist wasn't the expert in the room. The episode begins with Gilchrist telling the origin story of his own interest in chemical engineering, what his research means for the lay consumer, and what's so fascinating (really!) about how paint dries.

Anand Ramamurthi is the new professor and chair of Lehigh's bioengineering department. In this episode, he talks about his research journey, and how an early fascination with the human body led to the realization that engineers can play a significant role in treating disease.

Matt Bilsky is a Lehigh alum and an entrepreneur. Growing up, he was constantly building and inventing things, and that creator mindset helped him not only design his own PhD program, but start two companies focused on solving those “Wouldn’t it be nice if...?” situations. Here’s the story of how a K’NEX kid became a problem-solving CEO—and what startup life sounds like in the era of COVID-19.

For over 20 years, the so-called World's Longest Urinal was a New York City Marathon institution. At the height of its glory, it was an astonishing 350-feet long. The story of this urinal is one of DIY problem solving, triumph, and liquid tragedy. And behind this open air trough: An unknown legend named Vic Navarra. Vic was a fixture at the New York City Marathon for over a quarter of a century. He was a New York City firefighter who conducted the race start from the top of a fire truck's 85-foot ladder. When tens of thousands of runners poured onto multiple levels of the Verrazano bridge at the start of the marathon, Vic was the one conducting them. As the race start coordinator, he was the steward of this storied urinal, too. Together, their history gives us a glimpse into how the New York City Marathon scaled up to be the world class race that it is today.
