Biography
Dr. Lee has been working in the area of finite element modeling for more than fifteen years. He is an expert in the area of finite element model generation, error analysis, adaptive algorithms, fatigue analysis of tubular joints and steel structures. He has published more than 60 international journal papers in these areas. Dr. Lee is reviewer for many international journals for finite element modeling. He also works as a consultant for a structural analysis software company to provide advice on the implementation of finite element analysis program.
