Lee was born on 25 January 1952 in Hsinchu, Taiwan,[1] the youngest of painter Lee Tze-fan's three sons. Lee studied chemistry at National Taiwan University and pursued a doctorate in the subject from the University of California, Berkeley. He began a research career in 1979 at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration before accepting a teaching position at National Tsing Hua University in 1981.[2][1] Lee was named a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1999,[1][2] and subsequently considered multiple times for membership in the Academia Sinica.[3][4] Eventually, Yuan-Pern Lee was inducted into Academia Sinica in 2008,[2] and the Lees became the first family to have three members serve simultaneously as academicians of Academia Sinica.[4] Yuan-Pern Lee's induction followed that of his brothers Yuan-Chuan Lee and Yuan T. Lee.[3] Yuan-Pern Lee's association with the Academia Sinica began in 1988, when he began working as an adjunct research fellow within the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences.[5] Yuan-Pern Lee has taught at National Chiao Tung University since 2004 as chair of the Department of Applied Chemistry and director of the Institute of Molecular Science.[2][1] Lee was part of a research team at National Chiao Tung University that discovered the Criegee intermediate CH2OO particle in 2013.[6][7] Lee was a 2017 recipient of the Humboldt Research Award.[8][9] In 2019, Lee, Yuan-Tsong Chen, and Wei Fu-chan won Taiwan's Presidential Science Prize.[10]
