Jeon Lee, Ph.D. Assistant Professor School Medical School Department Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics Graduate Programs Biomedical Engineering Biography Since December 2020, Jeon Lee has been appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics. He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Yonsei University in South Korea (1999–2006), where he was trained as a medical device developer and innovator with biomedical signal processing and machine learning (ML) expertise. He got his post-doc training in Chronic Disease Informatics Program (PI: Joseph Finkelstein, M.D., Ph.D.) at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (2013-2014). Then, he studied and developed seminal computational algorithms for big data mining while working as a post-doc and an Assistant Research Scientist (parallel to Assistant Professor) for Dept. Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (PI: Seung-Jun Kim, Ph.D.) at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2014-2015). He joined UT Southwestern Medical Center as a computational biologist in 2016 and led the ML team at Bioinformatics Core Facility (2018-2020).
