Patricia Lee

Patricia Lee is an Adjunct Professor in the Computer Science Departments at the University of California Irvine (UCI), California State University Fullerton (CSUF), and Orange Coast College (OCC). All three colleges service the Orange County area in Southern California. She has had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students, mentors, and colleagues.

Dr. Lee's scholarly interests include (but are not limited to) computing education, hardware design verification, and software engineering in the areas of security, database, and operating systems.

Before teaching, Dr. Lee worked in various technical companies and organizations for over 20 years, mainly in the Southern California area. She is thankful for having had the opportunity to have worked in many different capacities within the computer industry including as software, firmware, and hardware engineer.

In her spare time, Dr. Lee loves the outdoors and enjoys camping, hiking, and mountain biking/road cycling for exercise and transportation. She is a big advocate for public transportation; however, she wishes transportation was more accessible/available, more bike and pedestrian-friendly, and safe for all modes of transportation. She also enjoys indoor activities like reading, playing instruments, and listening to live music (although a lot of this can also be done outdoors, too!).
