He received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Seoul National University in 2001 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Dr. Lee was the winner of the Georgia Tech Chapter of Sigma Xi Best Ph.D. Thesis Award in 2008 and was the recipient of the Hewlett Packard Best Paper Award (2nd place) in 2007. His research interests include nanoscale energy transport phenomena, light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, plasmonics, and metamaterials. In particular, he is interested in investigating fundamental physics of near-field thermal radiation, tailoring radiative properties of nanostructures, and employing engineered nanostructures to novel energy conversion and biosensing devices.
