My Story
Jeong Hoon Lee is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Kwangwoon University, South Korea. He earned his B.S. in Advanced Materials Engineering (Ceramic Engineering) from Yonsei University in 1997, and subsequently obtained his Ph.D. from the same institution in 2004. His doctoral and postdoctoral research focused on MEMS (BioMEMS) and Nanomechanics at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) from 1999 to 2005. Following a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at KIST, he continued his research as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, from 2005 to 2008. He has been a faculty member at Kwangwoon University since September 2008. He co-founded CALTH Inc. in 2018 and has been serving as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) since 2023.
Professor Lee's research is centered on the development of micro- and nano-scale convergence technologies, with a particular emphasis on the integration of electronic and fluidic systems for the creation of bio-applied devices. His work has recently expanded to encompass mobile healthcare technologies, including AI-driven field diagnostics and point-of-care testing facilitated by smartphone-based platforms. His research endeavors are primarily directed toward advancing personalized diagnostics for precision medicine and enhancing point-of-care testing methodologies. Professor Lee's contributions to the field are reflected in his h-index of 35 as of January 2024.
