Yun-Yeong Lee is a senior researcher at Kookmin University, Seoul, Korea. Dr. Lee received her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Ewha Womans University in 2024, where she also earned her M.S. in 2015 and B.S. in 2013. From March 2016 to August 2020, she worked as a research associate in the Department of Environmental Engineering at Ewha Womans University. Since September 2024, she has been serving as a postdoctoral researcher at Kookmin University. Dr. Lee's research interests focus on analyzing microbial community DNA across various environmental media to evaluate their interactions with the environment. During her doctoral studies, she conducted extensive research on the bioremediation of soil contaminated with recalcitrant pollutants, analyzing the long-term dynamics of microbial communities and their correlations with environmental factors using diverse statistical techniques. She has substantial experience in studying nutrient cycling and microbial community distribution in soils and other environmental matrices, as well as expertise in omics analyses based on microbial genomics. Dr. Lee has demonstrated active research productivity, publishing seven SCI-indexed papers and one KCI-indexed paper as the first author over the past five years. Additionally, she has registered one domestic patent and one international patent. Her work significantly contributes to advancing environmental microbiology and remediation technologies.
