Areas of Research Interest
 
Lee Hwee Kuan's current research focuses on for analysis of live cells images. These images are obtained from wide-field and confocal microscopy, including image data sets from high-throughput screens. His group's efforts contribute to the trend towards quantitative biology, in which scientific hypothesis are based on statistically significant objective data.
 
Biography
 
Lee Hwee Kuan is a Principal Investigator of the Imaging Informatics division in Bioinformatics Institute. His current research work involves developing and deployment of computer vision aglorithms for high throughput bioimaging experiments. Hwee Kuan obtained his Ph.D. in 2001 in Theoretical Physics from Carnegie Mellon University, he was working on Monte Carlo simulations of liquid-liquid phase transitions and quasicrystals. He then held a joint postdoctoral position with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA) and University of Georgia where he worked on developing advanced Monte Carlo methods and nano-magnetism. In 2003, with an award from the Japan Society for Promotion of Science, Hwee Kuan moved to Tokyo Metropolitan University where he developed solutions to extremely long time scaled problems and a reweighting method for nonequilibrium systems. In 2005 he returned home to join Data Storage Institute, investigating novel recording methods such as hard disk recording via magnetic resonance. In 2006, he joined Bioinformatics Institute as a Principle Investigator in the Imaging Informatics Division.
