Youho Lee

Professor Youho Lee specializes in nuclear fuel materials, fuel performance modeling, and reactor safety and design. His research focuses on high-performance light water reactor fuels, including Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs) and high burnup fuels. He also conducts research on nuclear fuel modeling and performance code development, Small Modular Reactor (SMR) reactor and fuel design, long-term storage of spent fuels, hydride embrittlement, advanced reactor fuel and structural materials, and nuclear power plant construction process analysis and improvement.

Professor Lee earned his B.S. from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 2009, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2011 and 2013, respectively. He currently serves as an associate professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU). Prior to joining SNU, he worked as an assistant professor at the University of New Mexico in the U.S from 2016 to 2019.
