Professor Lee was the first Taiwanese to win the Nobel Prize – along with John Polanyi and Dudley R. Herschbach, they won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1986 “for their contributions to the dynamics of chemical elementary processes.”
Their ground-breaking work made it possible to analyze much larger and more complex chemical molecules than those previously studied.
Lee studied at the National Taiwan University and National Tsinghua University, and in 1962 moved to the University of California at Berkeley to complete his Ph.D, where he later became a professor of chemistry. In 1994 Professor Lee returned to his home country, Taiwan, to serve as President of Academia Sinica.
