Rate My Professor Ickjai Lee

Professor Ickjai Lee serves as Professor and Promotional Chair in the School of Information Technology at James Cook University, part of the College of Science and Engineering. He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Newcastle, Australia, in 2002. Subsequently, he held a Post-doctoral Research Fellow position at the Business and Technology Laboratory, University of Newcastle, from 2002 to 2003. Joining James Cook University in 2003 as a Lecturer in the School of Information Technology, he progressed to Senior Lecturer from 2006 to 2009, Associate Professor from 2010 to 2013, and attained his current professorial role. He is also a Fellow of The Cairns Institute.

Professor Lee's research interests include geospatial data mining encompassing clustering, association rules mining, and sequential mining; trajectory mining for travel patterns and animal movements; geocomputation, geo-engineering, geomatics, and spatial data handling; mobile augmented reality for learning and teaching; Voronoi tessellation and Delaunay triangulation applications; applied artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms; intelligence and health informatics for the Tropics; market analysis through online map segmentation; geo-visualisation; Web 2.0; and map segmentation. He has produced 144 publications, with key recent contributions such as 'Advancements in preprocessing, detection and classification techniques for ecoacoustic data: A comprehensive review for large-scale passive acoustic monitoring' (2024, Expert Systems with Applications, with T. Napier et al.), 'Spatio-Temporal Contact Mining for Multiple Trajectories-of-Interest' (2024, IEEE Access, with A.R.S. Madanayake and K. Lee), 'Using mobile-based augmented reality and object detection for real-time Abalone growth monitoring' (2023, Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, with T. Napier), and 'A hybrid data gathering and agent based cognitive architecture for realistic crowd simulations' (2023, Journal of Simulation, with J. Sinclair and H. Suwanwiwat). His honors include lifetime membership in the ACM (2004) and ACM-SIGSPATIAL membership (2004). He currently supervises 10 PhD students on topics including deep learning, trajectory analysis, virtual reality, and medical imaging.
