Biography
Min-Hee Lee, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor - Research of Pediatrics, Wayne State University. Dr. Lee received a doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from Yonsei University, Republic of Korea. Dr. Lee's main research area is translational neuroimaging to bridge the gap between basic neuroscience research and clinical practice. He focuses on using advanced imaging methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) to investigate the brain structure, with the ultimate goal of translating the findings into practical applications for predicting, diagnosing, and understanding neurological and psychiatric disorders. He aims to develop deep learning-based DWI technique to optimize the surgical margin, predict the postoperative neurocognitive outcome, and determine postoperative brain reorganization in children with epilepsy.
