## Professional career

Lee earned bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science and statistics from Seoul National University in Korea in 1994 and 1996.[1] She completed her Ph.D. in statistics in 2002 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, under the supervision of Grace Wahba and Yi Lin, with a dissertation about support vector machines and their applications to microarray and satellite data.[1][2] She joined the Ohio State faculty in 2002 and was promoted to full professor in 2016.[1]

## Recognition

In 2015, Lee was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association "for fundamental and influential research on the multicategory support vector machine; for work at the edge of statistics and computer science and building a bridge between the statistics and machine learning communities; and for editorial and program committee service to the profession."[3][4]
