Profile

Jay Lee is currently a Visiting Scientist at the MIT Media Laboratory, where his advanced HCI research and computational media and interface design merges with his background in contemporary visual arts and architecture. While Jay was the lab's research assistant as a member of Tangible Media Group, he had developed a computational measuring system, called HandSCAPE, which enables a handheld tool to measure three-dimensional vectors using an orientation-aware sensing technology. In addition, he was working on various tangible user interfaces which have impacted computer science, industrial design, and interactive digital arts communities respectively.

Jay holds advanced M.Sc.degrees through MIT Media Lab (MSmedia'01) and 'MIT Programs in Visual Studies (MSvisS'99). Before joining MIT, he also earned Fine Arts degrees (MFA'97, BFA'95) at Hongik Univ. in Seoul. His HCI related computer science research has been published at international conferences such as ACM SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH. Jay has also displayed his conceptual and aesthetic strengths in exploring interactive artwork that have been exhibited at CAVS, SIGGRAPH, NTT-ICC, Ars Electronica 2001, and Interaction 2001. Jay is an IDEA 2000 award recipient for interface design with Tangible Media Group. Recently he is engaged in MLEast project as an extension of MIT Media Lab's world-partner collaboration.
