Minah Lee

I am an assistant professor in Electrical and Compute Engineering at University of Texas at Dallas. I received my Ph.D and M.S from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA under the supervision of Dr. Saibal Mukhopadhyay. Prior to that, I obtained my B.S. from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, South Korea.

I design intelligent edge systems that integrate sensing, computing, and learning through cross-layer design of algorithms and hardware. My research creates reliable, energy-efficient, and adaptive platforms that enable autonomous robots and drone swarms to perceive, learn, and act in dynamic environments.
