Long Bio

Yann-Hang Lee received his doctorate in computer, information and control engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, in 1984. From December 1984 to August 1988, he was a research staff member at the Architecture Analysis and Design Group, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY. He joined the Computer and Information Sciences Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, in 1988, and is currently a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence at Arizona State University. From 2008 to 2013, he served as the program chair of the Computer Science and Engineering program in the school.

Professor Lee's research interests are in the areas of real-time computing, embedded systems, Internet of Things (IoT), distributed systems, and performance evaluation. Currently, his research projects are focused on various software issues of mission and safety critical real-time embedded systems, service-oriented distributed embedded systems, and system support for embedded software.
