Jangwoon Lee

Jangwoon Lee (also known as Leo Lee) is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Mary Washington (UMW). He specializes in applied mathematics, with research spanning numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs), stochastic systems, and epidemiological modeling. His collaborative work with the Rappahannock Area Health District during the COVID-19 pandemic involved developing data visualizations to track infection trends.

Research Interests: Lee focuses on PDE-driven optimization, domain decomposition algorithms for stochastic systems, and analytical modeling of disease transmission. His interdisciplinary approach bridges computational mathematics and public health, emphasizing real-world applications.

Student Advising: He mentored Emily MacIndoe (’19) for her honors thesis on the Susceptible-Infected-Virus model, resulting in a peer-reviewed publication.

Publications: Lee's recent work includes contributions to computational mathematics and mathematical biology, with articles in journals like Applied Mathematics and Computation and SIAM Undergraduate Research Online. His research consistently addresses complex systems through analytical and numerical frameworks.
