Dr. Wei-Ning Lee received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei and her Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering from Columbia University, New York. She subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Institut Langevin in ESPCI ParisTech in Paris for 2.5 years. She then joined as an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Programme at The University of Hong Kong and is now associate professor with tenure. She won a New Investigator Award at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) Annual Convention in 2009, an Early Career Award from the Hong Kong Research Grands Council in 2013, and a Healthy Longevity Catalyst Award (Hong Kong) in 2022. Her current research interests focus on developing functional ultrafast ultrasound imaging methods with neural networks to investigate microstructure, mechanics, and hemodynamics of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal tissues. She is an IEEE member and currently serves on the Editorial Board of Physics in Medicine and Biology, the Advisory Editorial Board of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Technical Programme Committee of the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium.
