Cassandra, LEE Yieng majored in mathematics and minored in information engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). She wrote the “highly recommended” entry on the Hong Kong Space Museum (East Wing) at the 2011 “Maths in the City” competition hosted by Professor Marcus du Sautoy of the University of Oxford. In spring and summer 2015, she also wrote the content for the new website of the Department of Mathematics at CUHK http://www.math.cuhk.edu.hk. She has spoken about her passion combining mathematics and writing at her alma mater The Y.W.C.A Hioe Tjo Yoeng College.
Apart from mathematics, Lee enjoys creative writing, composes music, and showcases her artwork on Twitter and Instagram. Never seeing herself as a nerd, she wants to inspire girls to thrive in mathematics and the sciences, while not forgetting that they could still be sentimental too. 😉
