About Me

I am a prospective BME/ME dual major first-year. I come from the outskirts of Chicago, IL.

Current Courseload

EGR 103: Computational Methods in Engineering

This is the course for which I am making this wiki article. As of now I have very little idea of what to expect from this course in the future; we've only begun a very general introduction to the use of LaTeX and MATLAB.

EGR 121: Engineering Innovation

This is a Mechanical Engineering foundation course, my class has about 20 students in it and is therefore laid-back to a certain degree. I have nothing but high expectations from this course. The professor, Dr. Simmons, is phenomenal.

BIO 201: Molecular Biology

While molecular biology and the interface between chemistry and biology are the most fascinating aspects of science to me, this 320-person lecture is daunting. I'm one of the sixteen freshmen in the course this semester and it seems overwhelming at the moment. The lab sections I look forward to, however, as I've had that experience before and relish doing genetic work in a microbiological lab.

MATH 216: Linear Algebra and Differential Equations

This course is a repeat of one I took last year through a program with a local community college so I anticipate it to be a little easier than the rest of my load. The professor is Dr. Bray and while he may have some quirks in his speech/mannerisms, he is quite interesting to listen to and very helpful with any questions.

Homework 1

For this assignment I am posting a link to this article about the first Challenge, "make solar energy economical." The article presents a different approach to solar energy: artificial photosynthesis.
