About Me

I am a freshman student set to graduate in 2017. I am an aspiring Pratt-star. I'm currently planning on majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

Grand Challenge

Scientists are hoping that they found a source of infinite clean energy. ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a 15 billion dollar project set to conclude in 2018. The goal of the reactor is to keep the plasma of hydrogen isotopes heated and isolated using relatively low energy.

MATLAB Demos

My favorite MATLAB demo is probably the Earth's Topography demo. I like seeing the creation of the globe with such a short and simple code. I also enjoyed most of the other Graphics demos, like the penny demo and the surface plots demo.
