Wendy Lee is a Lecturer/Nexus Fellow at the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at UNSW Sydney.

Wendy joined the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the end of 2023. From 2021-2023 she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for Meta-Optical Devices at the University of Melbourne, affiliated with the ARC CoE for Transformative Meta-Optical Devices. Prior to that she was a Part-time Lecturer/Research Assistant/Lab Manager at the Terahertz Engineering Laboratory at the University of Adelaide from 2018-2021.

Wendy received her PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with the Dean's Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence in 2018. Her PhD thesis was titled, "Terahertz metasurfaces for wideband polarisation control". She received her Bachelor's degree with Honours from Monash University majoring in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering.

She's actively engaging in science communication and outreach activities to promote the importance of scientific advancements and inspire a wider audience. She's currently part of the UNSW STEMM Champions 2024 cohort.
