Welcome to the homepage of Dr. Joey J. Lee!
This is my (rarely updated) hybrid personal/professional webspace, where you'll find information related to my research and teaching, as well as personal thoughts and musings.

My research interests include:
See GameProf.com and GamifyingEducation.org for more information about my work.
I am happy to consider publication and guest speaking opportunities.
