I'm from a town in southern New Jersey called Vineland. Fun fact: It's the largest city in surface area in the state of New Jersey.

About
I'm a student of the Duke Class of 2019. My name is pronounced 'Droov' - it basically sounds like 'Drew' with a 'v' at the end of it. I'm planning on majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Where I'm from
I'm from a town in southern New Jersey called Vineland. Fun fact: It's the largest city in surface area in the state of New Jersey. If you like the smell of fertilizer, the occasional day trip the the beach, and/or want to live near a "Wawa", Vineland is the perfect place for you. If not, just move to California like everyone else.

Grand Challenges for Engineering
Check out this article about the UK's progress on nuclear fusion:

MatLab Built-in Help
My favorite demonstration was the brief synopsis of debugging function. It made me familiar with a new set of functions of MATLAB, more effective than the common "print" method of debugging. It showed me what kind of tools I have at my disposal with MATLAB, and hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of them when my scripts get more complicated and my bugs get harder to find.
