Robert Lee received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University , W. Lafayette , IN , in 1989. From 1989-1992 he worked for M.W. Kellogg Engineering and Construction as a process Engineer. He then went on to receive his M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University in 1994 and 1998 respectively. After a 2 year stint as post-doctoral researcher in the Laboratory of Dr. C.J. Heckman studying the properties of Motoneuron and neuromodulation, he received a research faculty position at Northwestern. Since 2001, he has been an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University where he continues to do research in the intracellular mechanisms underlying neuronal output. His research interests include Neural control of movement, Motoneuron physiology, cellular level neuronal computation, and developing neuronal computer models.
