Regina Lee, PhD, PEng is Professor at the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering, York University, Toronto, Canada. Professor Lee received her PhD from the University of Toronto in 2000. It has been a focus of her research to develop a series of satellite technologies that will lead to scientific nanosatellite missions. Currently, she’s investigating several areas including MEMS based attitude sensors and actuators to incorporate their low-grade characteristics; and optical payloads including a star tracker for Resident Space Object (RSO) detection, identification, and characterization with light curve analysis. In recent years, Lee’s research has expanded to develop synergistic strategies across space engineering, community practice, and visual arts to catalyze a collective imagination. Building on this recent experience, Lee is interested in understanding (and potentially developing) strategies to bridge between Korean studies and science & engineering (STEM) practice
