Biography
Hye Rin Lee is an education doctoral student at the University of California, Irvine with a concentration in Human Development in Context (HDiC). She was awarded the 2018 Provost Ph.D. Fellowship, Eugene Cota-Robles Diversity Fellowship, and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Prior to UCI, Hye Rin received her B.A. in Psychology and Sociology from Franklin and Marshall College.
Hye Rin’s research interests are self-reflection, academic interventions, online learning in education, measurement, temporal motivation, and resilience in students with disabilities. Specifically, her research focuses on (1) creating an effective intervention that helps URMs persist and continue on in STEM majors via the social media platform, YouTube; (2) examining the nuances related to various measures of academic self-related motivational beliefs; (3) resilient students who achieve high levels of academic performance despite their disability; and (4) combining aspects of cognitive and positive psychology to study individual differences in motivation, particularly in exploring whether memories of past experiences and views of future self may impact an individual’s strength of motivation in a task/goal.
Outside of academia, she likes to watch movies and explore innovative places.
