معرفی
Sohie Lee serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at Wellesley College, specializing in introductory programming instruction and cognitive science applications. She teaches hands-on lab courses including CS110 (JavaScript web form validation), CS111 (Java image manipulation), CS112 (MATLAB brain MRI visualization), and CS230 (Java GUI/database interfaces).
Her educational background includes:
- B.S. from Cornell University
- M.S. from Stanford University
- Ph.D. from University of California-San Diego
Lee's research bridges cognitive science and computer science, focusing on computational models of brain functions—particularly short-term memory mechanisms through neurophysiological data analysis. She actively develops pedagogical approaches for introductory CS education, with emphasis on promoting female participation and evaluating programming environment impacts (graphical drag-and-drop vs. text-based editors) on knowledge retention. Her work addresses critical gaps in accessible computing education through curriculum innovation.
She currently advises honors thesis projects, most recently examining how programming interface design influences long-term coding comprehension. Lee contributes to Wellesley's mission of broadening participation in computing through inclusive teaching practices and curriculum development targeting underrepresented students.
