 Encyclopedia: Yuan T. Lee
Yuan Tseh Lee (李遠哲 Pinyin: Lǐ Yuǎnzhé) (born November 19, 1936) was the first Taiwanese-born Nobelist, winning the Chemistry Award in 1986 with the Hungarian-Canadian John C. Polanyi[?], and American Dudley R. Herschbach for their contributions to the dynamics of chemical elementary processes.
Lee's particular work was on crossed molecular beams further towards its use for general reactions, a method for the study of important reactions for relatively large molecules.

Lee was in the baseball and ping-pong teams of Hsinchu Elementary School (新竹國小;), he then studied in Hsinchu Senior High School (竹中), where he played tennis and trombone.
At the request of ROC politicians, Lee was the Republic of China's unofficial representative in the 2002 APEC leaders' summit in Mexico.
The fact that Lee is both Taiwanese and American by education, acculturation, and citizenship also causes Li Ao to explicitly maintain that the Nobelist that the Taiwanese are proud of is in fact just an American, who switched allegiance by his own choice.

Each developing country, Lee notes, "has been attempting to follow closely in the footsteps of the so-called developed countries and is adopting patterns of growth that require excessive or often wasteful consumption of natural resources." It is a trend, he warns, that simply cannot be sustained.
Lee observes, for example, that the world's crude oil reserves will likely be depleted in 40 to 60 years and that natural gas reserves will likely be exhausted in 80 to 100 years.
Lee acknowledges that addressing each of these three issues will not be easy in a political environment marked by economic competition between nations.

Lee's participation in politics has been verbally attacked by Li Ao, who criticized Lee to be "filled with hypocrisy" (「充滿偽善」;) by claiming to be a scholar who pursues neutrality and truth, yet ignoring the fl gold activity, which Li claims that Chen Shui-bian engaged in as the mayor of Taipei.
The professor wrote a letter to Lee, who is the president of the Academia Sinca, for explaination, but his inquiry was not answered.) He also critisised Lee to be responsible for the failure of the education reform, headed by Lee in 1991.
Li Ao also explicitly maintained that since Lee is both Taiwanese and American by education, acculturation, and (at one time) citizenship, the Nobelist in which the Taiwanese are proud of is in fact just an American, who switched allegiance by his own choice.

 Lee, Yuan T.
Lee was educated in Taiwan and at the University of California at Berkeley (Ph.D., 1965).
As a postdoctoral researcher, Lee experimented with and further developed Herschbach's invention of the "crossed molecular beam technique"--a technique (derived from elementary particle physics) in which beams of molecules are brought together at supersonic speeds under controlled conditions to allow detailed observation of the events that occur during chemical reactions.
Lee extended Herschbach's technique, introducing mass spectroscopy to identify the products resulting from the reactions of oxygen and fluorine atoms with complex organic compounds.

 Understanding Chemical Reactions
The molecular features that influence the rate of chemical reactions were poorly understood until the mid-1960s, when Dudley Herschbach and his postdoctoral student Yuan T. Lee began a series of experiments at Harvard University.
Initially, these studies focused on reactions between alkali atoms and other molecules; Lee later adapted the crossed molecular beam method for general reactions.
The 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded jointly to Herschbach, Lee, and a third scientist.
