163 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine SCIENCES, PHARMACEUTICALS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY Simon Memorial Prize of the British Institute of Physics in 1976 and the Oliver Buckley Condensed Matter Prize of the American Physical Society in 1981. He was also involved in other noteworthy projects, including the first observation of nuclear spin waves (magnon) in spin polarized hydrogen gas and studies of collective sound modes in superfluid helium-3 B, which were somewhat analogous to the Higgs Phenomenon in elementary particle physics. He is most grateful to his collaborators over the years, including the 33 PhD students he has mentored for their essential contributions to his research program. He is still active in low temperature physics, performing experiments using electron spin resonance and optical spectroscopy on atoms trapped in thin films and in porous media at low temperatures. Dr. Lee is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. He is a member of the National Academy of Science and a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He holds honorary degrees from the University of Connecticut, the University of Florida, the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble, France, the University of Buenos Aires and the New York University Tandon School of Engineering. In 1998, Dr. Lee was awarded the Wilbur Cross Medal of the Yale Alumni Association.
