Research

Prof. Lee specializes in hydrogeology and environmental geophysics. His research is focused on developing numerical and theoretical approaches that merge various hydrologic and geologic data such as geophysical data, GIS information, and known geologic data into a stochastic modeling framework to characterize uncertain hydrologic structure and contaminant transport. During his Ph.D and postdoctoral research, he developed the reliability-based framework to evaluate various remedial design alternatives for groundwater contamination and integrated optimized monitoring and sampling design process into this framework. He is also interested in developing innovative geophysical/geotechnical methods to characterize subsurface hydrogeologic structures and remotely monitor contaminant fate and transport. He teaches hydrogeology, environmental geophysics, geostatistics and geocomputation, and introductory environmental science.
