Joon Bok Lee, PhD, Analytics Algorithms Engineer, Insulet CorpControl of blood glucose concentrations in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a challenging task. Millions of T1DM patients suffer from the effects of dangerously high or low glucose levels every day. Principles of process dynamics and control play a critical role in the design of an artificial pancreas (AP), a device that can automate this regulation of blood glucose and significantly reduce the dangers faced by people with T1DM. In this talk,​ Joon Bok Lee will present a brief overview of the histories and motivations behind this research, and how Insulet is developing AP technology upon innovations originated from academia. ​He will describe how ​his current position in analytic algorithms contributes to the development of both the closed-loop algorithm and the infrastructures that surround the AP system. ​He will also share ​his personal journey from graduate school to the industry and discuss insights and advice gained during this process that may be helpful to other graduate students and researchers who are considering career options.
