Profile

Biography

JunKyu Lee received a Ph.D. degree in computer engineering from the University of Tennessee in 2012. Since then, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher, exploring energy-efficient machine learning at the Joint Institute for Computational Science (UT-ORNL) in the USA, at the University of Sydney in Australia, and at Queen's University Belfast in the UK, respectively. He is a research fellow in the Institute for Analytics and Data Science at the University of Essex in the UK. His research interests include linear algebra and machine learning, particularly exploring security-aware energy-efficient machine learning. He received a Marie Curie Fellowship in 2018.
