About the Author
Yoon S. Lee, PhD, is a Scientific Information Analyst at Chemical Abstracts Service (a division of the ACS) where he indexes literature and builds databases for nanoscience and nanotechnology, specifically in the area of colloid and surface chemistry. After earning his PhD from Seoul National University in South Korea, Dr. Lee performed postdoctoral research at The Ohio State University and worked as a research chemist at Cognis. He has authored several articles on self-assembly and nanotechnology.
