Lee's research focuses on numerical modelling of deep subsurface environments, particularly coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) phenomena, fracture network representation, and damage evolution. His work has been applied to geological CO₂ storage, unconventional geothermal energy systems, and radioactive waste disposal. Current projects funded by The Royal Society and EPSRC explore CO₂ storage injection well integrity and fluid injection-induced seismicity prediction.

He teaches modules such as Energy Infrastructure Engineering, Climate Change and the Environment, and supervises PhD students in areas like coupled THM behavior of unconventional geothermal reservoirs and CO₂ injection well integrity. Lee collaborates nationally and internationally with academic and industry partners and is affiliated with the Centre for Energy Efficient and Sustainable Technologies, Two-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer, and Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering groups at Brunel.
