Summary
Apollo Lee is a quantitative researcher and electrical engineer in Palo Alto with eight years of hands-on experience across computational physics, hardware, and software internships at institutions including Argonne, Princeton, Tesla, and Amazon. Currently slated to begin at IMC Trading, he blends plasma simulation and laser-induced plasma research with practical engineering—applying rigorous numerical methods to real-world systems. His recent work spans LLM-driven checkout flows and EV charging hardware, showing a rare ability to move between machine learning product builds and low-level hardware design. A Stanford EE (BS, continuing MS) with a pragmatist’s motto—“have skin in the game”—he brings data-driven curiosity and operational discipline to high-stakes environments. Outside academia he’s served as an ocean lifeguard, a detail that underscores both his teamwork and situational responsibility under pressure.
