Dongheui Lee
Introduction
Dongheui Lee is Full Professor of Autonomous Systems at Institute of Computer Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, TU Wien. She has been also leading a Human-centered assistive robotics group at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), since 2017. Prior, she was Associate Professor of Human-centered Assistive Robotics at the TUM Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (2017-2022), Assistant Professor of Dynamic Human Robot Interaction at TUM (2009-2017), Project Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo (2007-2009), and a research scientist at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) (2001-2004). After completing her B.S. (2001) and M.S. (2003) degrees in mechanical engineering at Kyung Hee University, Korea, she went on to obtain a PhD degree from the department of Mechano-Informatics, University of Tokyo, Japan in 2007. She was awarded a Carl von Linde Fellowship at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (2011) and a Helmholtz professorship prize (2015). She has served as Senior Editor and a founding member of IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) and Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Robotics. Her research interests include human motion understanding, human robot interaction, machine learning in robotics, and assistive robotics.Short biography
