Dr. Cheng-Shiuan Lee, Research Scientist
Dr. Cheng-Shiuan Lee is a Research Scientist with the CCWT. His current research focuses on the fate, occurrence, and treatment of emerging contaminants (e.g., 1,4-dioxane, PPCPs, PFAS) in aqueous environments. He also serves as an instrumentation scientist to manage mass spec facilities for the Center. Dr. Lee holds a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences from Stony Brook University (2017) and a M.S. in Chemical Oceanography from the Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University (2008). Prior to joining the CCWT, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) at Stony Brook University. His Ph.D. and postdoctoral research focused on methylmercury bioaccumulation, transformation, and trophic transfer in marine food webs, ranging from bacterioplankton to apex pelagic fish. Dr. Lee’s research interests include the biogeochemistry of trace elements in natural waters, interactions of contaminants (trace elements and organic pollutants) with aquatic biota and their biogeochemical implications and fates in diverse aquatic environments, distribution and speciation of trace elements and organic compounds in diverse aquatic environments, and developing analytical techniques for the determination of trace elements and organic compounds in natural water samples.
