Curriculum Vitae

Background


PhD // ECE // Dartmouth, Oct '21
BE // BME // Dartmouth, Mar '17

MBA // Quantic, Expected Oct '25
GED // High School Dropout, May '12
Dr. Lee earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Dartmouth College in October 2021 at the age of 26, with a research focus on electronic materials and devices. As a DOE NNSA LRGF Fellow with Los Alamos National Laboratory, he pioneered the concept of photon energy attenuation layers (PAL), a novel alternative to conventional scintillators. His work significantly advanced the enhancement of high-energy X-ray signal detection on semiconductor devices, such as silicon CMOS image sensors (CIS), contributing to national security priorities under the stockpile stewardship program for the DMMSC / MaRIE facility.

In parallel with his work on X-ray detection, Dr. Lee also conducted research on solar-selective absorbers as part of his doctoral dissertation. Earlier in his academic career, he was trained as a biomedical device engineer and contributed to the development of a novel cerebral shunt valve for the treatment of hydrocephalus during his undergraduate studies.
​
During graduate school, Dr. Lee collaborated with Applied Materials to develop directional dry etch processes. He later returned full-time to lead PECVD process development for advanced logic and memory devices. Several of the processes he contributed to are now in production – or slated for future deployment – in 3D NAND, DRAM, and leading-edge logic manufacturing.

As of July 2023, he joined Samsung, where he operates at the intersection of talent acquisition and technology strategy – serving as a general technology specialist to engage leading experts and build strategic networks with top-tier talent viewed as critical assets for next-generation innovation.

He is also a high school dropout.
