At Emory University\, his research included the synthesis and characterization of novel self-assembling nanostructures\, such as micelles and vesicles. Specifically\, his research in manipulating and chemical characterization giant unilamellar vesicles is ground-breaking research bridging the macroscopic and nanoscale research areas. \nDr. Lee was also a Chateaubriand Fellow at the Université Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg\, France\, studying the origin of life chemistry. His work in Strasbourg included the isolation and characterization of novel amphiphilic molecules that might have been primitive precursors to the cell membranes found in all living organisms. He is an adjunct chemistry faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, working with Professor Michel Gagne in the department of chemistry. Previously\, Dr. Lee was an adjunct faculty member at Duke University. \nDr. Lee has served previously as the ARL Chief Scientist and the ARO Chief Scientist over his career.
