Biography/Research
Dr. Lee's current research is related to technology-based assessments in a variety of military contexts.
Through funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), he is working on the development of a computer-based assessment tool for assessment of Tactical Action Officers (TAO) in a simulated CIC (Combat Information Center) onboard Navy ships called the Multi-Mission Team Trainer (MMTT). He is also working on a game or simulation based assessment project for the Navy related to assessment of complex skills (damage control and shiphandling) using Bayesian networks for real time and after action assessment of skills including situation awareness, decision making and communication.
He is also working on a project funded through DARPA/ONR called the DCAPS (Detection & Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals) project, which involves the processing of honest signals from many sources with relation to stress and depression with post deployment soldiers, including post-traumatic stress and mild traumatic brain injury.
A third project is the development of curriculum analysis and development tools for the Federal Medical Simulation Training Consortium's Educational Framework Iniative (EFI).
His research interests include data-informed decision making, ontology creation and analysis, and simulation-based assessment.
