Name Ahmed Alshareef (AH-med)
Information: I am a Freshmen at Duke University, currently intending to major in biomedical engineering. I came from Columbia, SC, where I have lived approximately 7 years. I was born and raised in Gaza, Palestine until the age of 9, when I moved to the United States
Interests I love sports, almost every kind of sport. My favorite to play are soccer, table-tennis, and basketball. I enjoy watching almost every sport, even the dreadfully boring golf game.
Engineering Grand Challenges Article The article that most interested me about the Engineering Grand Challenges was related to the grand challenge title "Reverse-Engineering the Brain." Having always been interested in neuroscience-related topics, this challenges about creating artificial intelligence that models the human brain is very intriguing. This from of artificial intelligence can be infinitaly useful in modern health applications, such as drug testing and brain damage diagnosis. Neural engineering has definitely made strides in the past several years in overcoming this challenges. Further advances in technology and nerve cell code is essential for completion however.
The link to the article explaining the Grand Challenge can be found below. Reverse-engineer the Brain, National Academy of Engineering, accessed 23 September 2010 (Reverse-engineer the Brain)
