Kangwon Lee is an assistant professor in Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology at Seoul National University (SNU), Korea. He was a senior research scientist at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and an adjunct associate professor of biomedical engineering at University of Science and Technology (UST), Korea before joining SNU. He received his bachelor degree (BS) in materials science and engineering (MSE) from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), the master degree (MS) in MSE from SNU and the Ph. D. in MSE from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has further studied cell and tissue engineering at Harvard University as a postdoctoral fellow under Professor, David, J. Mooney. After working at Samsung Electronics (Samsung Information System America, SISA) as a staff scientist and a visiting scientist at MIT (joint affiliation), he hadworked KIST for two years (2013-2015) and has joined SNU at 2015. His expertise spans interdisciplinary fields of tissue engineering, chemistry and nanotechnology with primary research interest in development of novel polymeric biomaterials for tissue regeneration and synthesis and fabrication of nanobiomaterials for bioimaging. He has published over 30 peer-reviewed articles, over 100 presentations with over 30 invited presentations, and 10 patents pending or granted. He received several awards including 2007 ACS excellence in graduate polymer research award and 2015 Wiley-PSK MRC Young Scientist Award
