From Computing to Hardware: A Q&A with Oliver Lee

For Oliver Lee, a passion for software led to a desire to build things he could see and touch. The 2025 computer science (CS) graduate is completing a second major in electrical engineering, where he’s developed an interest in microelectronics, semiconductor physics, and integrated circuits.  

His background in computing complements that work. 

What drew you to study computing?  

I took my first computer science class during my freshman year of high school and fell in love with it. Later, I developed a fondness for embedded systems and computer vision, so I decided to attend Georgia Tech and pursue a CS degree.
