Prof. Lee has been a full professor of the Physics Department at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), since 2001. He received Ph. D. from Kent State University in Ohio (1986) in physics. Prior to joining SKKU in 2001, Prof. Lee was a full professor in the Physics Department at Chonbuk National University since 1986. He was a visiting scholar at Ames Laboratory, Iowa State University in 1989, IBM, Zurich in 1993, and Michigan State University in 1996. Currently, he is the Director of Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics, Institute for Basic Science at SKKU. He serves for an Associate Editor of European Physical Journal: Appl. Phys. He was awarded the first SKKU fellow in 2004 at SKKU, Science award from Korean Physical Society in 2005, Lee Hsun Research Award, IMR, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in 2007, and Presidential Award in Science and Education in 2008. He was also nominated as a National Scholar by Ministry of Education in 2006 and has been a fellow of Korean Academy of Science and Technology since 2007. He recently got Sudang prize.

Prof. Lee’s work has focused on understanding the fundamental properties of nanostructures in 0D, 1D, 2D and their hybrid heterostructures, design and synthesis of various heterostructures to implement unique physical and chemical properties. His research covers carrier dynamics, carrier multiplication phenomena, hot carrier solar cell, thermoelectrics, quantum mechanical tunneling phenomena, and nanocarbon-based soft electronics. His pioneering woks on synthesis and engineering of electronic and atomic structures of carbon nanotubes and graphene, other 2D materials and their applications to electronic devices, and energy harvesting have led not only nanoscience but also nanotechnology industry in Korea. He has published more than 380 scientific papers in international journals and his total citation number exceeds over 18,000 times with H-index of 60 (As of Mar. 2014).
