Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Milton L. Lee received a B.A. Degree in Chemistry from the University of Utah in 1971 and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Indiana University in 1975 under the direction of Professor Milos V. Novotny. Dr. Lee spent one year (1975–1976) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Professor Ronald A. Hites before accepting a faculty position in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Brigham Young University, where he became the H. Tracy Hall Professor of Chemistry. He has remained at Brigham Young University for his entire career of over 40 years.
Dr. Lee is best known for his research in capillary separation techniques and mass spectrometry detection. He is an author or co‑author of over 600 scientific publications and 500 technical presentations describing research in which he has been involved for over 50 years. He has received a number of national and international awards, including the American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography (1988), Martin Gold Medal (1996), American Chemical Society Award in Chemical Instrumentation (1998), Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievements in Fields of Analytical Chemistry (2008), Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, (2008), the American Chemical Society Award in Separations Science and Technology (2012), both LCGC Europe (2014) and North America (2016) Lifetime Achievement Awards, Csaba Horvath Memorial Award (2018), and most recently the ACS Award in Analytical Chemistry (2019) and the Giorgia Nota Award (2019). He was named four times (2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019) by The Analytical Scientist as among the 100 most influential people in the analytical sciences. Dr. Lee has mentored over 100 graduate students and post-doctoral researchers.
Professor Lee is also an entrepreneur and has been involved in transferring technology from his university research laboratory to the private sector. He co‑founded four analytical instrument companies for commercialization of instrumentation in supercritical fluid chromatography, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, hand-portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and, currently, hand-portable liquid chromatography. He is listed as a co-inventor on 20 issued patents.
