Milton L. Lee is the H. Tracy Hall Professor of Chemistry at Brigham Young University (BYU).
Lee received his B.A. degree from the University of Utah in 1971. He then received his Ph.D. from Indiana University. He spent a year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a faculty research associate and then in 1976 joined the faculty of BYU.
In 1989 Lee was the first recipient of the "Reed M. Izatt and James J. Christensen Faculty Excellence in Research Award". He is a member of the Scientific Committee for the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography. He is best known for his research in capillary separations and mass spectrometry detection. He has also done work with the BYU Cancer Research Center.
Lee has also been involved in large scale production of his research work and co-founded Lee Scientific in 1984 and Sensar Corporation in 1991 to do production related to his research. Lee has also worked as a staff scientist with Torion Technologies.[1]
