About Me

I am a recent convert from the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences to the Pratt School of Engineering. While I initially planned on double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, I have now opted to study Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science instead. I am enjoying the change so far!

Name Pronunciation

My name is Julian. Being from Charlotte, North Carolina, and a proud member of the South, my name has many acceptable pronunciations. My parents usually opt to call me JEW-lee-uhn. However, my grandparents and many other people opt for the shortened JEWL-yuhn or JEWL-yin. I will happily respond to any of these. Please do not call me jew-lee-ANNE; I am a man.

Projects

I am currently working on, among other things:

  • An iPhone application
  • Being a UTA for Owen Astrachan's CS100 class
  • 15 - 20 hours a week of CS108 projects
  • Getting a job this Summer
  • Sleeping

MATLAB Demos

My Favorite Demo from the MATLAB Help section is Viewing a Penny. I think it's fascinating that just by taking 128x128 data points and plugging them into MATLAB, it can recreate one three-dimensionally. What's more the Drawing a Pseudocolor Plot with a Colormap looks almost exactly like a real penny!
