About Dr. Lee

Long Lee joined the Mathematics Department at the University of Wyoming in 2005, following a three-year postdoctoral stint at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was trained as a computational scientist in computational methods for nonlinear partial differential equations. His research interests span from high-performance computing in fluid dynamics to mathematical modeling and stochastic methods for parameter estimation for systems of differential equations.
