About Me
My name is Bernie Amaldoss. I am a student at the Pratt school of engineering and I'm planning on majoring in biomedical engineering and minoring in visual arts(focusing primarily on ceramics) with pre-medical aspirations. I hail from Chapel Hill, North Carolina and currently reside in Gilbert-Addoms. I love taking long walks on the beach, traveling, dancing in the rain and any other cliché you could possibly come up with. If you share my interests feel free to message me at ba34@duke.edu and maybe we can work something out.

MatLab Demo
My favorite demo was the Loma Prieta Earthquake. It showed how to use matlab to help analyze data and involved graphical representations of data. I especially liked how it was able to make 2D and 3D plots of the data to better visualize it. This was the main reason I preferred this demonstration over the other ones.
