A snapshot of Edward Ashford Lee in celebration of Latinx Heritage Month

EECS Prof. Emeritus and alumnus Edward Lee (Ph.D. ’86, advisor: David Messerschmitt) is the subject of a profile created as part of the EECS Latinx Heritage Month celebration.  Lee discusses some of his Puerto Rican ancestors, including poet/playwright Alejandro Tapia y Rivera, considered one of the fathers of Puerto Rican literature, and physician Bailey K. Ashford, a pioneer in the study of tropical diseases.  Lee shares some of his personal experiences as a member of the Latinx community and even quotes one of his grandfather’s Spanglish limericks.
