John Lee
John C. Lee has been active in the areas of nuclear reactor physics and engineering since 1969. Following his graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley, he worked at Westinghouse Electric Corporation and General Electric Company for five years.
He has been on the faculty of the University of Michigan since 1974 and recently served as the Chair of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences.
He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences Panel on Separations Technology and Transmutation Systems, Transmutation Subgroup, and has served as a consultant to a number of organizations including the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He was a member of the U.S. Department of Energy Technical Working Group for Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems and of the U.S. General Accounting Office Review Committee for Oversight of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. He is a fellow of the American Nuclear Society.
His research programs include the development of optimization methods for nuclear fuel cycles and advanced methods for core physics analyses of both sodium-cooled fast reactors and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. He is also studying the impact of deployment of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on the reliability of the electric grid.
