Hello! I'm Lee, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Toyoda Lab, University of Tokyo, where I explore the cutting edge of augmented virtuality and spatial computing. Previously, I worked as PhD and then PostDoc at the Design and Manufacturing Futures Lab at the University of Bristol. I have also completed an IET accredited graduate scheme.

My passion lies in crafting interactive and intuitive design tools that bridge the gap between complex technology and unconstrained creativity. Whether it's designing innovative systems or solving complex technical challenges, I bring a combination of technical expertise, organizational prowess, and a collaborative mindset to every project.

I've shared my research through 15+ academic publications, lectures and presentations at international conferences. This portfolio is a showcase of my work and journey - offering a glimpse into the projects, tools, and ideas that drive me. Thank you for stopping by, and feel free to get in touch!
