Biography
Wei-Ning Lee received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, and her Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering from Columbia University, New York. She subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Institut Langevin in ESPCI ParisTech in Paris. She then joined as an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Programme at The University of Hong Kong and is now associate professor with tenure. She won a New Investigator Award at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) Annual Convention in 2009 and received an Early Career Award from the Hong Kong Research Grands Council in 2013 and a Healthy Longevity Catalyst Award (Hong Kong) in 2022. Her current research interests focus on developing functional ultrafast ultrasound imaging methods with neural networks to investigate microstructure, mechanics, and hemodynamics of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissues. She currently serves on the Editorial Board of Physics in Medicine and Biology and the Advisory Editorial Board of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Technical Programme Committee of the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium and is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging.
