Chang-Hee Won

Chang-Hee Won is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the College of Engineering, Temple University. He leads the Control, Sensor, Network, and Perception (CSNAP) Laboratory and is actively engaged in research funded by the National Science Foundation, Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the Department of Defense.

His research interests span tactile sensing, optimal control theory, spectral imaging, and dynamic sensing systems. His work integrates sensor technologies with machine learning for biomedical applications, particularly in cancer detection and tissue characterization. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles and secured multi-million dollar grants as principal investigator.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in applying tactile and imaging sensors with deep learning for medical diagnostics, especially in breast cancer and malignant melanoma classification. His research bridges control theory, sensor design, and AI-driven health technologies.

He serves as a frequent reviewer for the National Science Foundation and sits on the National Institute of Health Biomedical Imaging Study Section.

• Reviewer, National Science Foundation panels
• Member, NIH Biomedical Imaging Study Section

He has advised multiple graduate students including N. Rahman, V. Oleksyuk, and H. Ahn, who have co-authored recent journal publications. His research is supported by significant grants from federal and state agencies, as well as industry partnerships.

He directs the Control, Sensor, Network, and Perception (CSNAP) Laboratory, which focuses on developing advanced sensor systems, control algorithms, and perception technologies for biomedical and engineering applications.
