Tsung-Dao Lee (Chinese: 李政道; pinyin: Lǐ Zhèngdào; born November 24, 1926) is a Chinese-American physicist, known for his work on parity violation, the Lee–Yang theorem, particle physics, relativistic heavy ion (RHIC) physics, nontopological solitons, and soliton stars.
Biographical. Tsung-Dao (T.D.) Lee was born in Shanghai, China, on November 24, 1926, the third of six children of Tsing-Kong Lee and Ming-Chang Chang. He received most of his high school education in Shanghai. During 1943-1944, he attended the National Chekiang University in Kweichow Province.
Tsung-Dao Lee, Chinese-born American physicist who, with Chen Ning Yang, received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957 for work in discovering violations of the principle of parity conservation, thus bringing about major refinements in particle physics theory. Learn more about Lee’s life and work.

His first work was on the renormalizable field theory model, better known as the Lee Model…In 1957, when awarded the Nobel Prize at barely 31 years of age, Lee became the second youngest scientist ever to receive this distinction.
When Lee shared with C. N. Yang the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics, Lee was barely 31 years old, the second youngest scientist (after Sir Lawrence Bragg in 1915, aged 25). Lee is University Professor Emeritus at Columbia University and has published over 300 scientific papers and several books.
May 18, 2018 · Tsung-Dao Lee (born 1962) disproved the principle of parity. Tsung-Dao Lee and his colleague physicist Chen Ning Yang developed the revolutionary theory that the unusual behavior of the K-meson (a subatomic particle) is a result of its violating a supposedly inviolable law of nature, conservation of parity, which defines the basic symmetry of ...
