Bio:
Jeon Lee received his B.S., M.S., Ph.D. degrees from Yonsei University in Wonju, Korea in 1997, 1999, and 2006, respectively, all in BioMedical Engineering. From 2006 to 2009, he worked for Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine in Daejeon, Korea, as a senior researcher. He was with Department of Oriental BioMedical Engineering at Deagu Haany University during 2009-2011 as an Assistant Professor and also served the department as an interim chief for one year. In 2012, he worked for the department of BioMedical Engineering, Yonsei University as a Research Professor. After coming to USA, he worked for the Chronic Disease Informatics Program of JHU SOM (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine) during 2013-2014 for one and a half years as Postdoc Research Fellow. Since December 2014, he has been with Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County as a Postdoc Research Associate and, then, an Assistant Research Scientist.

Current works at UMBC:

1) Developing discriminative kernel dictionary learning-based algorithms related to multi-label brain tumor segmentation

2) Developing a series of non-negative matrix co-factorization algorithms for drug response predictions utilizing given genetic information

3) Advising CSEE graduate students in biomedical engineering-related projects such as patient identification using ECG signatures

Research Experience:
Dr. Lee's research my research experience is categorized into the following:

1) Signal processing – This includes implementing signal conditioning, filtering, feature extraction, and diagnosis rules based on an artificial neural network, a support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis, and/or data-mining techniques (Dictionary Learning and Matrix Factorization).

2) Original design of medical systems – For example, I was deeply involved in developing a novel system for non-invasive fetal hypoxia diagnosis. I also designed a transthoracic cardiac electrical stimulation system for cardiac high-risk patient stratification.

3) Clinical trials – This includes development of clinical trial protocols, preparation for IRB review, volunteer recruitment, methodology, and data analysis. I am experienced in clinical trial projects in both the US and Korea.

4) Hardware development – My experience includes analog circuits for physiological signal measurement to a robot arm for multi-channel radial pulse measurement.

5) Computer simulations – I have modeled and simulated action potential generation of single cells and hemodynamics during the venous occlusion for deep vein thrombosis diagnosis, and have done an FEM analysis of electrical density distribution generated by defibrillation.

6) Patents – I have 19 registered and 1 presently applied for patents in Korea. I have been directly involved in the invention of ideas or devices and the application of patents

Teaching Experience:

In Daegu Haany University, I gave lectures of ‘Introduction to Biomedical Engineering’, ‘Circuit theory’, ‘Biomedical Measurements and Laboratory’, and LabView and Matlab programming to undergraduate students.

In Yonsei University, I presented lectures on ‘Biomedical Sensor Devices (ME 510)’ to graduate students.
