Hey, everybody! I’m Lee, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve as one of your Resident Tutors. I was born and raised in the great state of California, and got my bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California. Right now, I’m working toward a postgraduate degree in actuarial science and insurance analytics – fun stuff! In my free time, I enjoy powerlifting, watching sci-fi movies, and exploring the city. Like some of you, I’m pretty new to Hong Kong, so don’t worry if you’re feeling a little lost – we can support each other as we each learn the ins and outs of the city! If you see me around campus, feel free to come up and have a chat, share your thoughts and concerns, etc. I look forward to seeing everybody!

Dept/Year: Computer Science & Engineering, PhD Year 2

Hey there, everyone! I’m Azim, and I’m absolutely stoked to introduce myself to the incredible Morningside community. I’m a second-year PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering. I enjoy many things, including digital art, video games and crime fiction. Usually, I spend time visualising my favourite characters on canvas or mixing and merging different styles. I spend (too much) time playing competitive video games. Fun fact, I used to play “Hearthstone” competitively and even had some success in Kazakhstan e-sports! Morningside is an extraordinary place for me, and I am absolutely stoked to serve such a fantastic community! If you have any ideas or questions or simply want to chat about anything, I’m all ears!
