A best-selling author
- Dr Adeline Yen Mah's autobiography, Falling Leaves, has sold over one million copies worldwide. It tells of her childhood in China with a cruel stepmother, and has been adapted into a children's version called Chinese Cinderella.
- Dr Mah later moved to the United States and became a physician. She established the Falling Leaves Foundation, which provides funds for the study of Chinese history, language, and culture.
The Falling Leaves Fellowship
The Falling Leaves Fellowship in Computer Science has been endowed at £900,000 to produce an annual amount that covers the cost of a senior University Teaching Officer in the Department of Computer Science & Technology to teach at Queens’.
To endow a Fellowship in this subject is part of the College's strategy of adding breadth and depth to our teaching and research capabilities. It will help to attract Computer Science students to the College – already a favoured destination for students in machine learning, software engineering, data science and computing.
This Fellowship was endowed in 2023 by the generous donation of Dr Adeline Mah.
