Typhoon Lee (Chinese: 李太楓; pinyin: Lǐ Tàifēng; born 1948) is a Taiwanese astrophysicist and geochemist at Academia Sinica, Taiwan, where he specializes in isotope geochemistry and nuclear astrophysics.

Education

Lee graduated from National Tsing Hua University with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in physics and then earned his Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Texas at Austin in 1977.

Career

He specializes in key research areas encompassing chondrules, mineralogy, Allende meteorite, chondrites, and astrophysics. Within mineralogy, his focus extends to subjects like seawater, directly linked to disciplines such as coral and Porites. Notably, his work delves into analytical chemistry, stable isotope ratios, and magnesium isotopes within the framework of Allende meteorite investigations.

His honors include the Robert J. Trumpler Award in 1978 from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and Outstanding Researcher Awards from the National Science Council in 1985-87 and once again 1988–90.
