Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWu-jung Lee is a Principal Oceanographer at the University of Washington Applied Physics Lab with a decade of experience integrating acoustics, engineering, and biology to advance active acoustic (sonar) monitoring of marine ecosystems. She develops scalable sampling strategies and inference methods—drawing on trans-dimensional Bayesian inversion, matrix decomposition, and information-theoretic models—to extract robust ecological insights from long-term echosounder deployments. Her work spans instrument development and field-calibrated experiments, from broadband microphone and hydrophone arrays to direct measurements of animal sonar radiation patterns, using echolocating animals as biological models for adaptive sensing. A MIT-WHOI-trained scientist with postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins, she combines theoretical rigor with hands-on engineering and has led community data-science efforts like Oceanhackweek to bridge oceanography and informatics.
