Biography

Cunbiao Lee earned his undergraduate degree from the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1984, his master's degree from the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1990, and his Ph.D. from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1995. He began his postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1995, and in 1998, became an associate professor at Tsinghua University. Lee was promoted to full professor after joining the State Key Laboratory for Turbulence and Complex Systems at Peking University in 2001. He has authored over 100 technical papers, 4 books, and delivered more than 100 invited lectures and seminars. In 2005, he received the National Outstanding Young Scientist Award. He serves as the director of the State Key Laboratory for Turbulence & Complex Systems and holds an Editorial Advisory Board member of Physics of Fluids, after serving on the Editorial Advisory Board member of Experiments in Fluids. His research interests include boundary-layer transition, hypersonic boundary-layer instability, dynamics of falling thin discs in water, near-wall PIV measurement, and nonlinear wave interaction. A member of the AIAA, Lee has spearheaded several major national projects, notably in the development of hypersonic quiet wind tunnels. He also participates in various major national science committees. He is an associated editor of AIAA J. now.
