Nana Hyung Ran Lee
Visiting Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering
BioDr. Lee brings years of experience as Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream and Director of Graduate Professional Development and Mentorship at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, and is a leader in innovative course creation and implementation for curriculum-embedded graduate professional development and design thinking. She has co-authored a book “Success After Graduate School” and brings both industry research expertise and front-of-room teaching skill to her work. Dr. Lee is also an involved member of the life design community. She participated in the Life Design Studio in June of 2018 with the University of Toronto team and has since been practicing our tools in her undergraduate, graduate courses and workshops. She piloted her Design Thinking for Scientists (DTS) course in 2019 with participation from graduate students from multidisciplinary home departments, including Biochemistry, Genetics, Immunology and Bioengineering and mentors from industry and other communications faculty from MIT. With her experience in teaching, public speaking, research, design thinking and mentorship, Dr. Nana Lee is excited to be part of the team as a Visiting Assistant Professor with the Life Design Lab!

Larry John Leifer
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur "designXlab" at the Stanford Center for Design Research (CDR) has long (30+ years) been focused on Engineering Design Team dynamics at global collaboration scale working with corporate partners in my graduate course ME310ABC. In our most recent studies we have added Neuroscience visualization of brain activity using fMRI and fNIRS. In doing so we have launched "NeuroDesign" as a professional discipline.

Sanjiva Lele
Edward C. Wells Professor of the School of Engineering and Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioProfessor Lele's research combines numerical simulations with modeling to study fundamental unsteady flow phemonema, turbulence, flow instabilities, and flow-generated sound. Recent projects include shock-turbulent boundary layer interactions, supersonic jet noise, wind turbine aeroacoustics, wind farm modeling, aircraft contrails, multi-material mixing and multi-phase flows involving cavitation. He is also interested in developing high-fidelity computational methods for engineering applications.
