École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)

Biography:
Anna Lee is a Post-Doc at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where she moved to on January 1st, 2018. She received her B.S. and M.S. both in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering from the Seoul National University (SNU), South Korea (2011 & 2013, respectively). She worked as a research associate at the Institute of Advanced Machinery and Design in SNU (2013-2014) and then earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2018). She is interested in the aerodynamics of bird wings, focusing on the effects of their mechanical structure and topography on the aerodynamic performance. She is also involved in the buckling of thin shells, which was the topic of her Ph.D. study. She is a member of the APS and the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME).
