Lee published 200+ peer-reviewed international (high impact factor SCI and SSCI) Q1 journals articles and A and A* peer-reviewed international conference proceedings. His publications appear in IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering; IEE Proceeding on Generation, Transmission and Utilisation; IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and linear Systems, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing; IEEE Selected Areas in Communications; IEEE Security and Privacy; European Journal of Operational Research; Applied Mathematics and Computation; Neuro-computing; Accounting and Finance; Journal of Wealth Management; and in AAAI, ICDM, NeurIPS, ICDE, ICWS, ICIS proceedings. He has chaired/co-chaired more than a dozen of IEEE international conference technical program committees: conference chair KICSS2012; general chair ICDIM2011; co-chair workshop on Intelligent Environment (IE2010); conference chair ICSSSM2008, and special sessions of IEEE International Conference on Service Computing, senior program committee members of IJCAI2020 Fintech special track, PC members of IJCNN2019, PAKDD2020, invited co-chair and speaker IEEE ICET2021, Beijing, etc.

Lee has been awarded 22 internationally competitive research grants in signal processing, decision support systems, AI/ML, Digital health informatics, and financial engineering research projects. Lee's current research interests are multidisciplinary spreading across signal processing; adaptive knowledge representation and information engineering; data, text, and graph mining for knowledge discovery; decision theory; information system research based on design science paradigm; and Neuro-financial engineering, ICU patient health support systems, Thyroid cancer prognostic and treatment analytics. He has attracted research grants from ARC DP and LPs, A*STAR, and Swift Institute, UK.

Dr Lee is the sole recipient of Monash University, Dean of IT, 2016 excellence Award for Higher Degree supervision. He has todate supervised to the award of 19 PhDs and 35 Research Masters students in signal processing, power systems quality, e-commerce, financial engineering, Digital healthcare support systems, Secured digital networking, and innovation management from commencement to the final award of thesis during his employ with Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, Swinburne University of Technology and Monash University both in Melbourne, Australia.

Currently he is the principal supervisor of 7 PhDs in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, ICU patient vital sign health monitoring, extrem learning system for Thyroid cancer patient diagnostic and treatment quality; and cosupervisors for 6 PhDs in deep learning for health modelling of smart infrastructure transport network, multiparty computation using cryptography techniques, and educational data mining research.
