Lee\u2019s Ph.D. program advisor, Professor Yingjiao Xu, is thrilled to welcome her back to the Wilson College. She feels confident that Lee will excel as a researcher and teacher and help students navigate the future of fashion and retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith diverse teaching experience gained over the past three years from both a private business school and a large public university, Dr. Lee brings fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to our TATM department. Her return promises to enrich our research agenda and transform the classroom experience,\u201d Xu says. \u201cDr. Lee's insights into fashion and retail technologies, from virtual fitting rooms (VFRs) to emerging innovations such as Non-fungible tokens [NFTs] and AI technologies, will inspire students and prepare them for the rapidly evolving landscape of the fashion industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunities for collaboration <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lee says she\u2019s excited to continue with her research at a college where faculty and staff have such a broad range of professional experiences and areas of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a lot of people who have a very specific background and skills. The interdisciplinary nature of the college can lead to more impactful research outcomes by bringing different ideas into a single project,\u201d Lee says of the potential for collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She will continue to teach FTM 416: The Fashion Industry, which primarily focuses on global sourcing and management, and is looking forward to bringing her marketing experience and research opportunities to the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am delighted to welcome Dr. Hanna Lee to the TATM Department,\u201d TATM Interim Department Head Professor Kristin Thoney-Barletta says. \u201cHer expertise in the application of innovative retail technologies to consumer experiences and apparel markets will undoubtedly broaden our research scope.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not even a full year back, Lee already feels settled back into her Wolfpack home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI'm just coming back, but the community is very supportive and engaging. It was easy for me to get used to this environment again even after my position changed.\u201d<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
