Marshall University’s Dr. Sanghoon Lee was invited to join the NSF grant panel March 19-20. Lee, assistant professor in the Department of Computer Sciences and Electrical Engineering was one of selected experts from across the nation for reviewing the NSF grant proposals.
“I was very pleased to serve as the NSF grant panel for reviewing invaluable grant proposals,” Lee said.. “I reviewed a list of competitive grant proposals and felt that it was such an amazing journey to work on this as a peer grant panel, emphasizing the importance of scientific research and the relationship between broader impacts and intellectual merits. These involved a lot of hard work but it’s worth it.”
“My research has particularly been based on both computer science and bioinformatics areas especially I’m very interested in investigating the genetic signature of cancer related tissues on tumor microenvironment using machine learning algorithms,” Lee said.. “I think that interdisciplinary research is a very difficult challenge but very promising one transferring knowledge between disciplines and providing balanced opinions.”
Lee has published his papers to Cancer Research, Blood, Cell, and Nature Scientific Report, and recently submitted a paper titled “Interactive classification of whole-slide imaging data for cancer researchers.” to Cancer Research, the most frequently cited cancer journal in the world, and a conference paper titled ”Unsupervised learning of deep-learned features from breast cancer images to IEEE BIBE.
