Master of Science in Information Technology
Discussing Trends in Information Technology
IT Distinguished Colloquium Series provide an opportunity for faculty members of the department to share their research
and ideas with each other. This can lead to collaboration and new partnerships, as
well as sparking new research directions. Colloquia provide a forum for discussing
current topics and trends in the field. This can help keep everyone up-to-date on
the latest developments, and ensure that the department remains at the forefront of
the field. Colloquia can help develop critical thinking and presentation skills. By
presenting their research to their peers, members of the department can receive valuable
feedback and learn to better articulate their ideas.
Graduate students are highly encouraged to attend the IT Distinguished Colloquium Series. GRAs who is currently working with the professors are highly recommended to attend the colloquium.
Committee Chair: Dr. Liang Zhao
Committee members: Dr. Lihn Le, Dr. Ying Xie, Dr. Nazmus Sakib, Dr. Yixin Xie

IT DISTINGUISHED COLLOQUIUM SERIES, October 28, 2025, 1:00-2:00 P.M.
Speaker: Dr. Yoon Jae Lee (GSU)
Title: Computing from Head to Toe: From Body to Interface
When: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM October 28, 2025
Where: J-2116; Microsoft Teams Meeting

Abstract
Human–machine interfaces decode human intent from noisy, multimodal signals while remaining easy to use. By translating signals from body to interface, these AI-driven systems increase accessibility and usability in real-time. This talk presents a head-to-toe computing approach that integrates embedded AI, sensing electronics, and software to turn body signals into responsive interfaces. The work lays the groundwork for next-generation computing that advances health, assistive, and everyday applications, and brings natural interaction into daily life, not only the lab. -
Bio
Yoon Jae Lee, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University. Prior to joining Georgia State University, he served as a Research Fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and as a Researcher at the Center for Wearable Intelligent Systems and Healthcare, Georgia Institute of Technology.
His research lies at the intersection of embedded intelligent systems, wearable biosensors, Internet-of-Things (IoT) integration, and machine learning. By translating physiological signals into real-time, human-centric interfaces, Dr. Lee actively pushes the boundaries of wearable technology and its dynamic interaction with humans in contemporary society. His research reflects interdisciplinary approach, bridging engineering, computing, and healthcare technologies.
