Kyoung-Soo Lee's research focuses on observational astrophysics of distant galaxies, studying how galaxies and galaxy clusters form and evolve over cosmic time. Work includes tracking star formation using multiple wavelengths of light (ultraviolet, optical, infrared), analyzing diffuse hydrogen gas glow (Lyman-alpha emission) around young galaxies, and building large public catalogs of galaxy properties like distances, masses, and star-formation rates from major sky surveys.
