I-Yang Lee
I-Yang Lee (born December 21, 1946 in Nanking ) is an American nuclear physicist.
Lee graduated from National Taiwan University with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1968 and received his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 . As a post-doctoral student , he worked on nuclei with high angular momentum at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and from 1977 he was at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory . There he dealt with research on nuclear structure, relativistic heavy ion scattering, detector and accelerator development. From 1992 he was back at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab and was involved in the development of an advanced gamma ray detector for nuclear physics, the Gammasphere, and developed high-resolution germanium detectors for gamma rays (Gamma-ray Energy Tracking Detector), which led to the construction of GRETINA (Gamma- ray Energy Tracking Array, 2011).
He is a fellow of the American Physical Society . In 2016 he received the Tom W. Bonner Prize for Nuclear Physics .
He is a US citizen.
