About Me

Hi! My name is Annie Lott. I came to Duke from Gainesville, Florida, and so far I'm having a great time here. I like to hike, travel, read, shop, and hang out with friends. I hope to get to know my fellow Pratt engineers better in the coming months!

Grand Challenges Link

I am interested in the Engineering Grand Challenge of producing energy from fusion, although I'm not sure it's possible yet. Here is an article discussing this issue.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite demonstration on MATLAB was the Earth's Topography code under Graphics. It was fascinating to be able to look at the code that produces a 3D image of the earth, one which I could move around with my mouse, and to think that at some point I might be able to write a code that creates something similar.
