Jed Dupree rejoined the Harvard fencing coaching staff in September 2023 as an assistant coach after serving as an assistant coach with the Crimson from 2013 to 2017. He is entering his fourth season with the Crimson for the 2026-27 academic year. In his role, Dupree coaches the Crimson men's and women's foil squads. 

Dupree's epee teams enjoyed more success in 2025-26 as junior Jessica Guo became the first two-time NCAA Women's Foil National Champion in program history, capping a dominant tournament with a 20-3 record after also posting the tournament's top +50 indicator at the Ivy League Championships. First-year Lucia Zhang made an immediate impact in her NCAA Championships debut, tying for third to earn First Team All-America honors. On the men's side, first-year Roy Graham earned All-Ivy League First Team honors after taking third at the Ivy League Championships, then followed with a seventh-place finish and Second Team All-America recognition at the NCAA Championships, while sophomore Andrew Chen added an All-Ivy League Second Team selection.

In 2024-25, Dupree coached sophomore Jessica Guo won her first individual Ivy League title in women's foil with a perfect 17-0 record, the only undefeated fencer at the tournament, while sophomore Daniel Zhang earned All-Ivy League First Team honors in men's foil. At the NCAA Championships, Guo advanced to the national championship bout for a second straight year, finishing runner-up to earn First Team All-America recognition, while senior Lauren Scruggs (Second Team All-America) and first-year Andrew Chen, who also finished national runner-up in men's foil to earn Second Team All-America honors, rounded out a standout postseason.

Dupree returns to Harvard after serving as the head foil coach at Durkan Fencing Academy from 2017 to 2019. During Dupree's time at Durkin Fencing Academy, the former Crimson assistant coach managed and directed the high-performance foil training program.
 
Prior to his tenure at Durkan Fencing Academy, Dupree served as an assistant coach at Harvard from 2013 to 2017. Dupree was instrumental in the Crimson's success on the strip, as he coached 29 student-athletes to All-America honors and Adrienne Jarocki to two NCAA women's saber individual national championships in 2014 and 2016. Dupree also aided the men's team to Ivy League titles in 2014, 2015 and 2018, along with a women's Ivy League championship in 2016.

Dupree is a sought-after individuals coach, guiding decorated and world-renowned fencers to impressive heights. Jackie Dubrovich, Race Imboden and Miles Chamley Watson worked with Dupree on their way to the Olympics. Dupree also coached men's foil and Harvard alum Geoffrey Tourette, who won a team gold medal at the 2017 Junior World Championships.
 
On the strip, Dupree accomplished an incredible career, representing the United States at the 2004 Athens Olympics along with individual national titles in 2002 and 2005. A Columbia alum, Dupree also won the 2001 NCAA men's foil individual national championship and was a four-time all-american honoree.
