Her work focuses on enhancing teacher preparation, particularly in statistics and data science education, through innovative curriculum design and professional development initiatives. She leads and collaborates on multiple NSF-funded projects, including ESTEEM II and InSTEP, which aim to transform teacher education to better prepare educators for integrating modern data science and statistics into K-12 curricula.

Her research emphasizes the use of technology such as CODAP (Common Online Data Analysis Platform) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to support teachers in developing statistical literacy and pedagogical strategies. Key areas include designing blended learning environments, creating formative assessment systems (e.g., DICE project), and fostering educator communities through online platforms.

Dr. Lee’s grants include projects like 'Preparing to Teach Mathematics with Technology' and 'Science Data Stories,' which address the integration of computational tools and data investigations into science and mathematics classrooms. She also collaborates with institutions like RTI International and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics to advance educational innovation and equity in STEM education.

Her contributions span over 50 scholarly articles, focusing on statistical reasoning, teacher professional development, and technology-enhanced learning. She actively engages in research-practice partnerships to ensure her work impacts policy and classroom practices.
