Siu Au Lee is an American physicist known for her use of visible and ultraviolet light lasers,[1][2] including using them to perform atomic-scale interferometry based on Bragg scattering, test special relativity and other fundamental theories, perform photolithography, and supply cooled heavy nuclei[2] for quantum computing applications.[3]
Education and career edit
Lee is a 1970 graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and completed her Ph.D. in 1976 at Stanford University.[4] She was a professor of physics at Colorado State University for over 30 years, with time on leave as a program manager at the National Science Foundation,[5] until retiring to become a professor emerita.[4]
Recognition edit
Lee was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1998, after a nomination from the APS Topical Group on Precision Measurement & Fundamental Constants, "for contributions to the field of high resolution laser spectroscopy, and for precision experiments in hydrogen and in tests of special relativity".[6] She is also aan OSA Fellow, elected in 1992.[7]
She was named a distinguished alumna of the University of Wisconsin–Madison physics program for 2015–2016.[8]

I had moved up one floor and from the invisible infrared spectral region into the visible. I decided immediately that this was a superior place to play, but it was also the territorial domain of Siu Au Lee
