About Me
I am a first-year undecided engineering major at Duke University. I am currently employed on campus as a scorekeeper for intramural games. Though, it seems only fitting that I have a love of math and science (due to the engineering major) I also enjoy a wide variety of other hobbies and activities such as music, and art.
Grand Challenges Article
This article related to the Grand Challenge for Engineering of making solar power economical brings to light the idea of personal solar power rather than the mass production of such power that has been in the forefront of the industry since its conception. It steers our minds away from solar plants and into the world of solar clothing.

My Favorite Demo
My favorite of the Demonstrations in the Matlab Help section is that of the "Game of Life". It provides an entertaining perspective on cellular behavior while also providing an interesting demonstration on how math and matrices can be used to model this behavior based on the surroundings of the cells. The simplicity of the output coupled with what I assume to be the complexity of the code behind it is both entertaining and awe-inspiring to me.
