About Me

My name is Michael Cogo. I am from Northern Virginia, specifically Fairfax, Va about 45 minutes outside of Washington, DC. I went to St. Albans School in NW DC. St. Albans is associated with the Washington National Cathedral and is an all boys school. I am half Brazilian and half Bolivian. I speak Spanish fluently and am now taking Portuguese. I am planning to major in Civil Engineering and minor in Portuguese at Duke.

Name Pronunciation

The way to pronunce my name is MY-kull KO-go.

Matlab Demonstrations

My favorite Matlab demonstration was about Earth's Topography. I thought it was mind blowing to be able to map out the Earth both in 2-D and 3-D plots with just a few lines of code.

Interests

I enjoy to play and watch all sports, listen to music, hang out with my friends, spend time with my family, and travel. I played Football, Hockey, and Crew in high school and am on the Club Rugby team here at Duke.

Favorite Sports Teams

Washington Redskins

Washington Capitals

Washington Wizards
