Sangbaek Lee is a postdoctoral appointee at Medium Energy Physics (MEP) group at Argonne National Laboratory. His main research interests align with studying the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) inside the nucleon and nuclei.

Since he joined Argonne as a postdoc in August 2022, he has been working on the superconducting nanowire R&D projects to study its viability as a particle detector in the nuclear and particle experiment facilities including the Electron-Ion Collider and the Jefferson Lab.
