About

Dr. Seung-Ju Lee’s research bridges two seemingly distinct worlds—artificial intelligence ethics and robotic urologic surgery—united by a commitment to precision and equity. In the rapidly evolving field of AI, Lee’s landmark commentary “Mirroring the bias: gender and artificial intelligence” (2022, 72 citations) has become a touchstone, critically examining how algorithmic systems can perpetuate gender disparities in the wake of accelerated digitization. This work positions Lee as a vital voice at the intersection of science, technology, and social justice. Simultaneously, Lee has made significant contributions to robotic surgery. Notably, Lee pioneered the extension of robot-assisted retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy (RARPN) to antero-lateral renal tumors (2016), broadening surgical options for kidney cancer patients. Further, Lee’s urodynamic evaluation of patients before and after robotic radical prostatectomy (2021) provided crucial insights into post-operative bladder function, directly informing clinical care for prostate cancer survivors. With a career that demonstrates how technical surgical innovation and critical socio-technical analysis can coexist, Dr. Lee offers a powerful model for researchers seeking to impact both the operating room and the broader societal conversation around technology.
