Youngmin Lee

Youngmin concentrates her practice on nanochemistry and renewable energy systems such as batteries and fuel cells, while her analytics experience spans across the areas of chemistry/polymer, advanced materials, chemical/mechanical engineering, biotechnology, food/beverage, telecommunication, optics, consumer goods, medical devices, electronics, IoT and artificial intelligence.

Prior to joining Cantor Colburn, Youngmin led or participated in numerous IP consulting projects including landscaping, portfolio development, risk analysis, technology scouting, prior art search and due diligence as an IP analyst. She also led technology transfer (licensing agreement negotiation) and patent strategy development at a bio-startup focused on organ-on-a-chip manufacture & drug delivery.

Beyond her IP practice, Youngmin has eight years of research experience including her doctoral research at Brown University centered on functional nanomaterial synthesis & applications, postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on Li-ion/Li-air batteries, fuel cells, and solar-to-hydrogen water-splitting systems.
