Jae Kyoo Lee completed his B.S. degree in Physics at Seoul National University and his M.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the same institute. He received a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Southern California on the studies of retinal ganglion cell stimulations and response in artificial retinal prosthesis devices. After his doctoral studies, he joined the Richard N. Zare group at Stanford University as a postdoctoral research associate. During his postdoc work, he pioneered “microdroplet chemistry”, the studies of water molecule behaviors and chemical reactions in micro-sized liquid droplets and their applications. He found unique properties of chemical reactions in water microdroplets and addressed the physico-chemical origin of the unusual molecular behaviors in microdroplets. Following his postdoctoral studies, he worked as a research scientist in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University. He continued to carry out microdroplet chemistry research to seek applications of the microdroplet chemistry technique to various science and engineering disciplines and problems. He joined the Department of Applied Bioengineering at Seoul National University as an associate professor. He is a recipient of the Young Investigator Award from the American Society For Nanomedicine. Professor Jae Kyoo Lee’s research interests span several disciplines from fundamental physics and chemistry to biomedical, energy, and environmental science and engineering.
