Research Interest
Junghoon Lee received the B.S. and the M.S. degree in Mechanical Design and Production Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU Korea) in 1989 and 1991 respectively. After completing the M.S. degree, he worked as a military researcher in the Agency for Defense Development, Korea from 1991 to 1996. He entered the Ph.D. program in UCLA (CA, USA) in 1996 and finished in 2000 with major in MEMS and minor in electrochemistry. In his Ph.D. period, Junghoon Lee carried out a pioneering research on the MEMS implementation of surface tension driven microfluidics. After completing the Ph.D., he worked as an assistant professor in Northwestern University (IL, USA) from 2000 to 2003. During this period, he extended his interests to the analysis and application of superhydrophobic phenomena, surface stress mechanics and applications, and nanotechnology integration on MEMS. In 2004, he joined the faculty of the SNU, where he is currently a professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Interdisciplinary Program of Bioengineering, and Department of Nano Science and Technology. Prof. Lee’s research is highly interdisciplinary, covering broad spectrum of science and technology in MEMS, nanotechnology-biology interaction, and interphase mechanics. His group members joined from many different areas such as Mechanical Engineering, Microbiology, Biomedical Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemical Synthesis, and Optics. He is working as an editorial board member of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, also serving on the scientific committee of the Nano Tech Conference (Montreux, Switzerland). He is the recipient of the Presidential Young Scientist Award (Korea) in 2006. He is teaching multidisciplinary courses such as Engineering Mathematics, Cell Mechanics, MEMS, and Thermodynamics. Prof. Lee is serious in active sports such as ski, soccer, and tennis.
