Dr. Lee and her research group use enantioselective chromatography to understand the transformations and transport of chiral contaminants through soil, sediments, water, and biota. Chiral contaminants have stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images, which often react at different rates while undergoing biological transformation. The difference in transformation rates provides insight about the fate of contaminants in natural systems.
Dr. Lee teaches CH 413 Chemistry of Aqueous Systems, EE&S 845 Organic Environmental Chemistry), and EE&S 856 Pollution of the Aquatic Environment. She also helps coordinate the Biocomplexity Seminar which discusses current topics about the interactions of human and environmental systems.
