He is known for his work on parity violation, the Lee Model, particle physics, relativistic heavy ion (RHIC) physics, nontopological solitons and soliton stars.
He was a University Professor Emeritus at Columbia University, where he taught from 1953 until his retirement in 2012.[1]
In 1957, Lee, at the age of 30, won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Chen Ning Yang[2] for their work on the violation of the parity law in weak interactions.
