Lee Lab

Meet the PI

Dr. Lee has been developing advanced computational algorithms for big, high-dimensional biomedical data for over 20 years. He has worked on numerous biomedical research projects; collaborating successfully with researchers from biomedical engineering, computer science, cell biology, biochemistry, and neuroscience fields, as well as physicians of several different medical specialties. He advanced data analytics for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, biomedical signals, and medical images, and leveraged these as computational tools and models. He was elected as a senior member of IEEE (the world's largest technical professional organization) in 2015 in recognition of his valuable research contributions to science and engineering. He is currently appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics at UT Southwestern and has a wide spectrum of collaborations across campus with basic science and clinical PIs.
