密苏里大学策展委员会最近任命威尼斯人娱乐城的两名教师为策展杰出教学教授。
这一称号是由策展人委员会授予的最高和最负盛名的学术等级，授予少数在研究或教学方面享有声誉的杰出学者。
This year’s honorees from 威尼斯人娱乐城 are Yugyung Lee, Ph.D. of the 科学与工程学院 and Sean O’Brien (J.D. ‘80) of the 法学院.
“Both Lee and O’Brien are exemplary models of what it means to be a 威尼斯人娱乐城 faculty leader,” said 威尼斯人娱乐城 Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Jennifer Lundgren. “It is rewarding to celebrate the achievements of talented colleagues who are passionate about their work.”
Lee’s teaching focuses on artificial intelligence, data science, deep learning and other emerging technologies. 她的一些工作集中在普惠系统的实时和大数据分析上，普惠系统是一个由连续连接的嵌入式设备组成的网络，旨在提高生活质量。 她最近致力于通过解决专门针对口腔癌的基于深度学习的图像分割研究的缺乏性和缺乏注释数据来提高口腔癌的准确检测。
"I am deeply honored to receive the Curators’ Distinguished Teaching Professors Award. This recognition highlights the inseparable connection between teaching and research.” 李说。 “Working with students has always inspired my research, just as my research has enriched the next generation of scientists and educators. 从本质上讲，一个真正的研究人员是一个真正的教育者，我很感激有机会和我的学生一起继续学习和成长。”
O’Brien joined the law school faculty in 2005, teaching criminal law, criminal procedures, sentencing mitigation and post-conviction remedies. 他的职业生涯是释放被误判的人，包括被关押了几十年的人。 他成功地在最高法院的Schlup诉Delo案中进行了辩护，这是一个具有里程碑意义的案件，扩大了在无罪证据的基础上重新审理案件的能力。 O’Brien is a member of the Board of Directors of Miracle of Innocence, a nonprofit organization that advocates for innocent prisoners and helps restore them to the community. Since 1983, O’Brien has supervised clinics at 威尼斯人娱乐城 Law that provide pro bono legal assistance to innocent and condemned prisoners with the help of 威尼斯人娱乐城 Law interns.
A 威尼斯人娱乐城 法学院 alumnus himself, he was recognized as the 由威尼斯人娱乐城校友会颁发的2023年度杰出校友.
“I have such wonderful faculty colleagues campuswide,” O’Brien said. “I am deeply honored by this recognition just for doing what I love to do.”
