Dr. H.C. Lee has been University Chair Professor of Biophysics, at the National Central University since 2006. He was a Ministry of Education National Chair Professor, 2006-2009, and a Chair Professor at the Physics Department, Chung Yuan Christian University, 2012-2018.

Dr. Lee was educated at National Taiwan University (BSc, 1963) and McGill University (MSc. 1967; PhD, 1969). He was employed at the Canadian Chalk River Research Laboratories as a theoretical physicist from 1968 to 1993, progressing from postdoctoral fellow in 1968 to senior research officer in 1984. In 1992-1993 he was founding director of the Center for Mathematical Sciences. During this period his field of research was, in succession, nuclear physics, particles and fields, and mathematical physics.

In 1993 Dr. Lee returned to Taiwan. He chaired the Physics Department, National Chung Hsing University from 1993 to 1995. In 1995 he joined as professor at the Department of Physics, National Central University. There, Dr. Lee was the founding director of the Center for Complex Systems in 1996, which in 2003 spawned the Graduate Institute for Biophysics, first of its kind in Taiwan. In 1997 Dr. Lee began to work in theoretical and quantitative biology. He was founding Director, the (Graduate) Institute of Systems Biology and Bioinformatics (now part of the graduate program at the new DBSE since 2014), 2006-2012. Officially retired at NCU in 2012, Dr. Lee remains a University Chair Professor and continues to teach at DBSE. In the earlier years after 1997, Dr. Lee worked on the dynamics of molecular evolution through the study of generic genomic sequences of species. In recent years he used human microarray sequences to gain insights on topics related to human complex diseases, including various cancers, stem cell, human aging, and Alzheimer?s disease (http://sansan.phy.ncu.edu.tw/~hclee/pub/allpub.html).

Dr. Lee was a visiting professor for various periods at U. Toronto, McGill U., Brookhaven National Labs., Niels Bohr Inst., Cambridge U., and Beijing Inst. Theoretical Physics as a physicist, and Stanford U., U. Hamburg, Zhejiang U., Shanghai U., BITP, and Huazhong U. Sci. and Tech. as a biomedical scientist.
