Bio

MURI Research

  • Time domain finite element methods applied to complex materials
  • Development of adaptive error control methods in the time domain
  • Application of computational electromagnetics to modeling magnetic photonic crystals



Professor Lee's main area of research is in the development and application of numerical techniques to electromagnetics He has concentrated his research on differential-based techniques such as the finite element and finite difference methods. His research work in numerical methods over the past 15 years includes boundary truncation methods, numerical dispersion studies, hybrid methods, domain decomposition approaches, and reduced order modeling. He has also been heavily involved in solving high performance computing issues associated with electromagnetics for the past 5 years. Prof. Lee has applied his methods to numerous applications including the analysis of electromagnetic scattering from a variety of objects (jet engines, sea ice, plastic mines, UXO’s etc.), the design of several types of ultra wide band (UWB) antennas, the design of RF coils for high-field magnetic resonance imaging and electron paramagnetic resonance imaging, the analysis wave propagation through complex materials, and the characterization of microwave and high speed circuits.

Prof. Lee has published over 60 papers in peer-reviewed journals and graduated over 10 Ph.D. students. He received the College of Engineering Lumley Award in 1995, 1999, and 2003 for outstanding research. Before joining The Ohio State University, he was employed as a Microwave Engineer at Microwave Semiconductor Corporation (1983-84) and Hughes Aircraft Company (1984-1986). He was also a Visiting Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories during the summers of 1986-1989.
