Sang-Hun Lee is currently an associate professor of Psychology and an adjunct professor of Computer Science, Brain Science and Cognitive Science at Seoul National University.

Dr. Lee received his PhD in Visual Neuroscience from Vanderbilt in 2001, mentored by Dr. Randolph Blake. From 2001-2004 he spent three years at Stanford University and New York University as a post-doctoral fellow in David Heeger's laboratory. He has built up a transinstitutional cognitive neuroscience research network, revitalized research participation by undergraduate students, raised the profile of the psychology department, attracted major research grants, and gained the reputation among undergraduate and graduate students as a top teacher at Seoul National. Meanwhile, Dr. Lee's research productivity has remained outstanding. He has published in the very best journals in the field, including Science, Nature, and Nature Neuroscience. He is co-PI on an NIH grant.

Dr. Lee received the William James Young Investigator Award from the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness in 2006 and the Randolph Blake Early Career Award 2007 from Vanderbilt University, where he got his PhD. He has also recently been chosen as one of Frontier Scientists by the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology in recognition of his recent pioneering work on visual awareness and brain activity.

Dr. Lee's early studies focused on the behavioral aspects of human visual perception by publishing several influential papers on binocular vision, temporal vision and visual grouping using methods of pychophysics. He later gained expertise in brain imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and has been trying to establish links between perceptual dynamics in human vision and neural dynamics in cerebral cortex by combining diverse data collected from psychophysical, brain imaging and computation modeling experiments.
