Turner College MIS professor Yoon Lee has had a remarkable run in terms of academic research in the last few years, and this feat was recognized with his recent nomination for the 2026 CSU Faculty Research & Scholarship Award. He described that run, and his research process in a recent interview with Turner Business. On the current occasion of his award nomination, he expanded on that conversation. "Throughout my tenure at CSU, I have pursued research areas integrating machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, reinforcement learning, simulation, and ensemble modeling into innovative solutions across diverse business domains such as healthcare information systems, supply chain management, and financial markets, as well as addressing core data analytics challenges such as the class imbalance problem. Over time, my research has evolved from foundational agent-based decision automation models to cutting-edge automation and predictive modeling - a progression that reflects both intellectual continuity and an expanding societal impact," Lee explained.
In terms of the specifics of the case for his award nomination, Lee's 2025 study in Information Systems Frontiers develops robust predictive models capable of performing in the highly uncertain and volatile altcoin markets. As he explained in his recent interview with Turner Business, predicting stock or cryptocurrency prices is one of the most challenging tasks in finance and data analytics domains, and in particular, understanding the movement of cryptocurrency prices during a bear market is of great interest to investors. Next, his 2024 research in the International Journal of Production Economics integrates mathematical and simulation approach to prove the viability of RFID- and drone-based automated warehouses. Lastly, Lee's 2024 paper in Information System Frontiers addresses a fundamental challenge in predictive machine learning modeling by proposing a novel ensemble-based classification technique that improves performance in imbalance dataset analysis such as fraud detection and medical risk prediction. "My future research builds directly on the foundation of my past and current work, extending it into new directions while maintaining [prior] research streams," Lee added. His ongoing projects explore the development of an intelligent scheduling agent that integrates explicit policy rules and user preferences to optimize academic course planning, leveraging large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning to automate the drafting and validation of medical insurance claims in compliance with complex regulatory frameworks, and studying the effects of subset ratios to develop generalized, domain-agnostic best practices for ensemble-based classification. Turner Business wishes Professor Lee luck with his award application going forward.
