Milton L. Lee received a B.A. Degree in Chemistry from the University of Utah in 1971 and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Indiana University in 1975. He spent one year (1975-76) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Postdoctoral Research Associate before accepting a faculty position in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Brigham Young University, where he is the H. Tracy Hall Professor of Chemistry.
Lee is best known for his research in capillary separation techniques and mass spectrometry detection. He is an author or co-author of over 560 scientific publications, and has given over 500 technical presentations on various aspects of his research. He has received a number of national and international awards including the American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography (1988), Martin Gold Medal (1996), American Chemical Society Award in Chemical Instrumentation (1998), Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievements in Fields of Analytical Chemistry (2008), Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, (2008), and the American Chemical Society Award in Separations Science and Technology (2012). Lee has mentored over 70 M.S. and Ph.D. students.
Lee is also an entrepreneur and has been involved in transferring technology from his university research laboratory to the private sector. He co-founded three analytical instrument companies, the most recent of which is Torion Technologies, which markets hand-portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection systems for first responders. He is listed as a co- inventor on 20 issued patents.
