Biography

Tim Lee’s research interests intersect areas of computing and skin cancer. Specifically, his lab develops innovative computer algorithms based on artificial intelligence techniques for the analysis of digital pigmented skin lesion images. These computer algorithms facilitate early detection of skin cancer and follow-up care. The focus of Lee’s lab is to design hand-held in vivo imaging devices based on the laser speckle polarization properties of coherent light. These devices are aimed at differentiating malignant melanoma from other skin conditions. The effectiveness of these devices has been tested on a large group of skin patients in clinical settings. Additionally, Lee’s lab investigates the epidemiologic research into the relationship between environmental and genetic risk factors associated with melanoma.
