Dr Frank Lee

Frank Lee is an experimental physicist by background, having persued research into spin-dependent transport of electrons in the Cavendish Laboratory before realising how crucial IT and computing infrastructure is to STEM research. He is currently Head of Computing and IT for the Faculty of Mathematics where he leads a team of highly-skilled and enthusiastic experts providing the infrastructure in support of all kinds of mathematicians and theoretical physicists.

In Pembroke, Frank supervises physics, seeking to infect second-year undergraduates with the skills and enthusiasm they need to make their studies the success they deserve. He is grateful to undergraduates spanning a couple of decades for causing him to look at problems from some unexpected angles and aspires one day not to make mistakes when demonstrating algebraic solutions in supervisions.

Aside from physics, Frank is a volunteer trustee with a children's educational charity (founded by C.T. Wood (1875) and still supported by Pembroke over a hundred years later) and is frequently to be found singing in the back row of the choir stalls in chapels, churches and cathedrals.
