BJ Lee

BJ (Byung Joo Lee) was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. He came to the United States at the age of 15. He initially studied biomedical engineering at University of Michigan, but he fell in love with organic chemistry and decided to take a long journey with organic chemistry. Thus, he became a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin with Prof. Tehshik P. Yoon. BJ was able to study both photoredox catalysis and triplet energy transfer to solve several unsolved transformations. In his spare time, he loves to do physical training, to play sports, and to develop new recipes.
