DESCRIPTION:Biomedical Engineering Research Seminar\n\nDr. Juhyun Lee\n\nUn
 iversity of Texas at Arlington / UT Southwestern Medical Center\nJoint Dep
 artment of Bioengineering\n\nAbstract\n\nCongenital heart diseases are amo
 ng the most prevalent birth defects in humans\, often stemming from develo
 pmental abnormalities during embryogenesis. While many of these conditions
  have a genetic basis\, environmental factors\, including mechanical force
 s\, can also play a role. Dr. Lee has made significant contributions to th
 e field of cardiac research by developing an innovative 4-D imaging techni
 que for studying beating zebrafish hearts in vivo. This technique utilizes
  a custom-built light-sheet microscope and a sophisticated computational a
 lgorithm. Dr. Lee's research extends beyond imaging and delves into the as
 sessment of cardiac mechanics and hemodynamic effects. This involves quant
 ifying intracardiac shear stress through computational fluid dynamics (CFD
 ) and tensor analysis.\n\nHis work has shed light on the mechanobiological
  mechanisms that underlie proper cardiac chamber formation. In particular\
 , Dr. Lee's multidisciplinary approach explores how mechanotransduction re
 gulates Notch signaling to advance our understanding of developmental card
 iac mechanics\, all made possible by cutting-edge optical systems. Further
 more\, Dr. Lee's research interests extend to cardiac regeneration in zebr
 afish\, where he employs novel light-field imaging techniques. These techn
 iques promise to enhance our understanding of cardiac regeneration\, furth
 er pushing the boundaries of knowledge in the field.\n\nBio\n\nDr. Juhyun 
 Lee\, PhD\, currently holds the position of Associate Professor in the Dep
 artment of Bioengineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). H
 is academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biomedical En
 gineering\, which he completed at the University of Utah in 2010. Subseque
 ntly\, Dr. Lee pursued his graduate studies\, earning a Master's degree fr
 om the University of Southern California (USC) and a PhD in Bioengineering
  from the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA). Following his aca
 demic training\, he briefly transitioned to the industry\, working as a bi
 omedical engineer at Edward Lifesciences. During this time\, he specialize
 d in artificial heart valves and hemodynamic monitoring devices.\n\nReturn
 ing to the academic sphere\, Dr. Lee has been dedicated to advancing the f
 ield of high-resolution microscopy for in vivo dynamic imaging techniques.
  His research primarily focuses on unraveling the mechanobiological mechan
 isms underlying cardiac trabeculation during development\, employing a mul
 tidisciplinary approach rooted in engineering methods. He has received mul
 tiple awards\, including the American Heart Association (AHA) Career Award
  and the UTA College of Engineering Outstanding Early Career Award. Furthe
 rmore\, Dr. Lee's research endeavors have garnered support from various fu
 nding agencies\, including the American Heart Association (AHA)\, the Nati
 onal Science Foundation (NSF)\, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH
 ).
