About me
Associate Professor Paul (Seung-Yong) Lee is a team member of Adelaide University (AU) Aviation within the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and IT. His research focus is in Aviation Human Factors and Aviation safety particularly in General Aviation (GA) where, based on the statistics from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), the majority of accidents and incidents occur. Paul's current research interest is in the use of latest technologies (e.g., AI and VR) to further improve GA safety and the quality of flight training.
Paul has been in a tertiary Aviation education sector for over 25 years.
Before joining AU Aviation, Paul was a program director (Aviation) at University of South Australia (UniSA) and an Aviation
discipline leader (Acting) at the University of Southern Queensland
(USQ) where he was one of four founding members of USQ Aviation. Prior
to becoming an academic, he was a flight instructor at Massey University
in New Zealand where he instructed in Single-Engine and Multi-Engine
aeroplanes under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) as well as conducting night and aerobatic flight instructions.
Paul was also an internal flight examiner conducting various flight
exams within the flight practicums embedded within the Bachelor of
Aviation at Massey University. Paul holds an Australian Commercial Pilot Licence with a Grade
2 instructor rating and a Remote Pilot Licence.
