About
Won Kyung Lee is a leading scholar in the field of technological innovation and patent analytics, with a primary focus on the convergence of emerging technologies. Her most influential work, "Patent Network Analysis and Quadratic Assignment Procedures to Identify the Convergence of Robot Technologies" (2016, 53 citations), pioneered a novel methodological approach to mapping how distinct technological domains merge within the robotics sector. By applying network analysis to patents from both the USPTO and KIPO, Lee developed a rigorous framework for identifying convergence patterns and the variables driving them. This research has become a cornerstone for understanding how robotics technologies evolve through interdisciplinary fusion, offering critical insights for policymakers and R&D strategists. Lee’s contributions extend beyond methodology; her work provides a quantitative foundation for anticipating future innovation trajectories. With her citation impact demonstrating the field’s reliance on her analytical tools, Lee stands as a key figure in technology foresight and innovation management, bridging patent data science with strategic decision-making in high-tech industries.
