Jeehiun Katherine Lee is an organic chemist and a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Rutgers University. She currently runs a research lab on the New Brunswick campus.
Contents
Although she is an organic chemist by training, she has expanded her research field to biological chemistry, using mass spectrometry, computer modeling and other methods to characterize reactivity and catalysis.
Research
Professor Jeehiun Lee's group combines experimental and computational methods to understand mechanisms of reactions important for chemistry and biology. Specifically, Professor Lee has pioneered the use of traditionally physical methods, primarily mass spectrometry and computational chemistry, to tackle problems at the chemistry/biology interface, focusing on catalysis.
Education
Jeehiun Lee received her BA summa cum laude in Chemistry at Cornell University in 1990. She obtained her PhD in Organic Chemistry at Harvard University in 1994.
From 1995 to 1997, Lee was a NIH Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCLA in the lab of Professor Kendall N. Houk.
Jeehiun Lee also teaches classes in organic chemistry for undergraduate students and advanced organic chemistry for graduate students.
