Willy Das, PhD Lehigh@NasdaqCenter & Dept of Management I am WILLY DAS , co-chair of the Postdoctoral Association. I received my PhD in Business Policy and Strategy from the Indian Institute of Management and am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the field of entrepreneurship. My research focuses on understanding the human dynamics of strategic-decision making and its impact on entrepreneurial performance. When not researching, I can be found exploring the culinary scene in Bethlehem. Also, I am a total dog enthusiast, so it's entirely possible that I might say hello to your pup before acknowledging you. Our association is dedicated to supporting the professional development of postdoctoral researchers , fostering a sense of community, and promoting collaboration and networking opportunities. We welcome you to join our community and participate in our events and initiatives. |

Preetika Karnal, PhD Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Hi, my name is Preetika Karnal. I completed my PhD from Johns Hopkins University on Adhesion of a viscoelastic polymer to wet or compliant substrates. I am now a Postdoc in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and enjoying my stay at Bethlehem. I study adhesion of rough soft materials while incorporating machine learning for image processing. I am passionate about research and development. I enjoy hiking, music, food, playing table tennis and connecting with humans and nature. I hope to use the opportunity of being co-chair of the LPDA to help foster a sense of a strong community among the postdocs at Lehigh University and nurture our professional development. |
