Thomas
Lee holds Bachelor's Degrees in Political Science and Symbolic Systems
(Artificial Intelligence) from Stanford University. While at Stanford,
he did clinical research in anesthesiology with Dr. David Gaba on anesthesia
patient safety and measuring the mental workload of the
anesthesiologist. His Master's thesis
in Technology Policy from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) focused on role-based access controls for computer-based
patient records. His PhD from MIT's Engineering Systems Division explored
attribution for heterogeneous data integration. The thesis develops a formal
model and a policy framework for propagating annotations on structured and
semistructured data to manage intellectual property attribution and data
quality. He has served as a visiting
scientist at the Computer Security Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a research engineer
at the MITRE Corporation, and as a contractor
for DynCorp-Meridian supporting
the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency doing research on Internet privacy and security. His
current research interests focus on experiential knowledge: learning
from the experiences of others. Specifically, he develops techniques to
automatically learn from user-generated content such as consumer product
reviews and Web forums. From product reviews, he learns customer "needs"
and preferred attributes for use in market segmentation and new product
development. From health forums, he helps newly diagnosed patients
make more informed decisions by identifying and learning from patients
facing similar circumstances.
He has
taught undergraduate, MBA, and PhD level courses on databases and co-taught
an MBA elective on the application of information technologies to operations
management strategy. He currently
teaches the core undergraduate course on decision modeling. He is a recipient of the David W. Hauck
Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching at the Wharton School. The award is granted to only one member of
the junior faculty every year. He has
published in Decision Support Systems, Information Systems, ACM Conference on
Information and Knowledge Management, and the Workshop on Information
Technology and Systems. In
his spare time, he trains and races in distance relays with a team of dorm
mates from his MIT graduate residence.
He swims and cycles to cross-train but no, he has never done a
triathalon and yes, it is on the list of things to do. Unfortunately, his wife will not allow him
to compete in the local Philly events because she does not believe the Schuylkill River Water Quality Forecasts. |
