Environmental Molecular Biology/Microbiology

Dr. Lee is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. For the past 25 years, virtually all of his research has been in the area of functional ecology, almost exclusively of tropical plants. His work continues to be mostly tropical, but some of the phenomena have led him back to temperate plants. Long-term interests in the cultures of south and southeast Asia, the result of living in these areas has led to a minor research interest in the relationships of these cultures to their environments.
