Moo Y. Lee is a technical staff member of the Geomechanics Dept., Sandia National Laboratories. He holds a Ph.D in mining engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a recipient of 1994 US National Committee for Rock Mechanics-Applied Research Award. Technical specialty includes in situ stress measurements for the design and stability investigations of underground space and laboratory simulation of underground conditions under true-triaxial state of stree.. Currently he is responsible for geotechnical monitoring (convergence, rock support system and blast vibration) and in situ stress measurements for the Yucca Mt. Project. Moo Lee also works for the laboratory investigation of slurry injection for oil-well restoration, laboratory characterization of frozen soil under dynamic loading condition, and constitutive laboratory testing of PZT.
