Kyungmi Joanne Lee

Dr Kyungmi (Joanne) Lee received her PhD in Computer Science from Griffith University, Australia, in 2007. She began her academic career at Charles Sturt University before joining James Cook University (JCU), where she has developed extensive experience in research, teaching, academic leadership, and postgraduate supervision in Information Technology.

Joanne’s research interests span machine learning, artificial intelligence, algorithm optimisation, neural networks, data mining, and their application to real-world problems. Her research has included the development of optimisation approaches for fly-in-fly-out mining workforce scheduling, neural network-based classification of ultrasonic signals for non-destructive evaluation, and spatio-temporal data mining algorithms for moving-object data. Her current research interests increasingly focus on applied AI and machine learning, including the development and evaluation of intelligent and data-driven approaches to complex practical problems.

Joanne has extensive teaching and curriculum experience across artificial intelligence and machine learning, database systems, data mining, information visualisation, AI applications and ethics, programming, and 3D modelling. She also contributes to the development and leadership of Information Technology curricula and programs at JCU.

She is actively involved in supervising Higher Degree by Research students and supporting research development across a range of areas in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, and applied computing.
