About Me
I am a freshman studying mechanical engineering at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I decided that I want to study mechanical engineering my junior and senior years of high school because of how much I enjoyed my physics and math classes. Born and raised in White Plains, New York, I live with my two older brothers, my mom, and my dad.

My Favorite MATLAB Demo
My Favorite MATLAB demo is Coloring Mesh and Surface Plots. I like this demo because I learned how to better understand and interpret graphs made on MATLAB by altering their colors. The colorbar function is helpful because it displays a bar of color that represents the vertical axis so that it is easier to see where the points on your graph are along the axis based on their colors.
