Dar-Yuan Lee has been an instructor and researcher at National Taiwan University since 1989. He has taught undergraduate courses in introduction to soil science, soil physics, soil chemistry, and graduate level courses in fate of organic chemicals in the soil environment and agricultural application of spatial data. He also taught a course in soil pollution at National Open University, Taiwan . He has been technical consultants for internal agencies. His recent work included applying and developing geostatistical methods for spatial interpolation of soil properties and for delineation of contaminated soils, coupling geostatistical and solute transport models with GIS for the assessment of the fate of chemicals in soils, developing methods for determining the bioavailability of trace elements in soil, and remediation of Cr-contaminated soils using organic matter amendments and phytoremediation.
