Professori Lehto suoritti filosofian maisterin tutkinnon vuonna 1993, lisensiaatin tutkinnon vuonna 1996 ja tohtorin tutkinnon vuonna 1999 Turun yliopiston fysiikan laitoksella. Vuosina 2004–2008 hän johti tutkimusryhmää samassa yksikössä. Vuodesta 2008 lähtien hän on toiminut materiaalifysiikan professorina Itä-Suomen yliopistossa (UEF). Akateemisten tehtäviensä ohella hän työskenteli vanhempana tutkijana Focus Inhalation Ltd:n Discovery Groupissa vuosina 2002–2003. Hän on myös yksi 3AWater Oy:n perustajista ja sen hallituksen puheenjohtaja.

Hänen tutkimuksensa keskittyy piipohjaisten nanorakenteisten materiaalien kehittämiseen kolmeen pääsovellukseen: (i) monitoimisiin lääkeaineiden annostelujärjestelmiin, (ii) litiumioniakkujen anodimateriaaleihin ja (iii) metalli-ionien adsorbentteihin erityisesti laimeissa vesiliuoksissa. Hänellä on vahva tausta epäorgaanisten nanomateriaalien, lääkkeiden ja epäjärjestäytyneiden materiaalien fysikokemiallisessa karakterisoinnissa. Hän johtaa noin 20 tutkijan muodostamaa Farmaseuttisen fysiikan tutkimusryhmää UEF:n teknillisen fysiikan osastolla.

Professori Lehto on julkaissut yli 230 vertaisarvioitua tieteellistä artikkelia. Hänen tutkimuksiaan on siteerattu yli 8 000 kertaa, ja hänen h-indeksinsä on 49 (Web of Science).
