Byeongdu Lee is the group leader of Chemicals and Materials Science group at the Advanced Photon Source in Argonne National Laboratory.  He earned his B.S. from Seoul National University and Ph.D. from Postech in Korea. During his Ph.D., he developed instruments and x-ray scattering theory for grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) to characterize nanoporous thin films and the block copolymer films. In 2004, he joined Argonne as a postdoctoral researcher and became as a staff scientist in 2005. Since 2016, he has also been affiliated with Northwestern Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering (NAISE). His research focuses on developing small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques for characterizing nano-structures and their self-assemblies. Since 2019, he has been the group leader, overseeing and managing the beamlines at sector 12 of the Advanced Photon Source in Argonne, as well as leading their upgrade projects.
