A little about me

Justin Lee

I’m an Honors College student at Stony Brook University with an intended major in electrical engineering. My work spans semiconductor photodetectors, optical alignment, and high-speed electronics.

I currently work on avalanche photodiodes in the Optoelectronics Group. Previously, I built a motorized laser alignment system at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Alongside research and hardware projects, I’ve taught mathematics to students in grades 3–8 at JEI Learning Center, adapting lessons to how each student learns.
