My name is Sang Won Lee and I am a Music Technologist and Industrial Engineer. I am currently a graduate research assistant, working with Dr. Jason Freeman at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology and works on LOLC (Laptop Orchestra Live Coding) project granted by NSF Creative IT Award. Through my research in music technology, I am seeking a music environment that helps people connected with music. More specifically, I am interested in creating new ways of social interactions in music-making/listening among audience, performers, composer and machines.

I graduated from Seoul National University in South Korea with a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering with a focus on Human Factors Science. I spent more than five years in the IT business and pursued master degree to study further in the field. In 2010, I earned a Master’s Degree in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford, focusing on Probability, Stochastic, and Optimization. During the program I developed an interest in Music Technology and in how engineering disciplines can be embedded into musical environments to enhance the pleasure of music listening. After I made a transition to the music technology field, I have explored wide spectrum of developing new ways of interaction in music making and music listening. Other than thinking about geeky music applications, I like to play basketball and watch comedy shows.
