DAFVM Spotlight Employee: Myung-Bok Lee
Myung-Bok Lee
The Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture relies on Myung-Bok Lee to provide them with information about their research in an organized manner.
Lee is a research associate in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture. She analyzes the research data and prepares manuscripts for publication.
Lee is currently working on a project studying the effects of biofuel and native grass management practices on the insect community. Another project that she is working on looks at the relationship between avian species and functional diversity in agricultural landscapes.
Lee enjoys researching different topics and getting information to her colleagues in the department.
“I provide analysis of the data, which helps others in the department with their research,” she said. “That’s what I am good at.”
Lee graduated last year from The University of Texas at Arlington.
Lee said that she came to Mississippi State University because of a friend that she had in lab at UTA.
“My supervisor, who is also my friend from UTA, first asked me if I would be interested in the job,” she said. “I like it here at MSU because the size of the school is not too big or too small. It is just right.”
Lee enjoys hiking and watching movies.
