Dr. Jeenkyoung Lee received her Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in Gerontology from Iowa State University in 2024.

Dr. Lee’s research delves into the multifaceted contexts and longitudinal mechanisms shaping family relationships across the lifespan and how they relate to individual and family well-being.

Her current research focuses on 1) parent-adult child and sibling relationship trajectories over time and their implications for relational, psychological, and physical well-being; 2) early life family and resilience processes affecting health outcomes in adulthood; and 3) changes and dynamics of interpersonal relationships using big data and unsupervised machine learning techniques.
