Professor Daeyeon Lee is a faculty member of Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE), University of Pennsylvania, United States. His research areas are Soft Matter, Colloid and Interface Science, Polymers and Nanostructured Materials.

He got his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT in 2007  and BS in Chemical Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea in 2001.

His aims is to develop deep understanding of the interactions between soft materials near or at interfaces. His group seeks to extend the obtained knowledge to enable the assembly of nano-/micro-scale materials into macroscopic structures that have designed properties and functionality. The major research efforts in the lab include understanding the behavior of Janus particles at fluid interfaces, understanding and improving the assembly and mechanical properties of nanoparticle films, the generation of hierarchical structures using emulsions and bubbles as templates, and development of catalytic systems for biomass conversion.

He has received numerous awards and honors. Some of them are as follows: Unilever Young Investigator Award in Colloid and Surfactant Science - 2014, AIChE Nanoscale Science and Engineering Forum (NSEF) Young Investigator Award - 2013, Van Ness Award - 2013, 3M Nontenured Faculty Award - 2013, KIChE President Young Investigator Award - 2012, Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) Young Investigator Award - 2011, NSF CAREER Award - 2011, Victor K. LaMer Award - 2010.
