About Me!
Hi, my name is Brian Lin. I'm from Lake Zurich, Illinois (about an hour north of Chicago). I went to a pretty large public school called Adlai E. Stevenson high school which currently has a bit under 4,000 students!

- Going for night runs around campus
- Playing guitar (favorite bands include Dispatch, Streetlight Manifesto, and Dream Theater)
- Learning how to speak Chinese (and then hopefully Korean, Cantonese, and Japanese)

MATLAB
Four Linked Tori [2]
I haven't had too much experience in the computer programming world, but with my few forays (including the LaTeX lab), I've really grown to appreciate organization, simplicity, and efficiency. When using R in the past and running T tests and other Stats tests across large matrices of data (such as histone methylation across the blood samples of 80 people), I'd often end up with up to a couple minutes of downtime waiting for the program to run. With that in mind, it's really interesting to see how MATLAB can create a complicated-looking graphic from such a simple program. Of course, this is very different from churning through large amounts of data, but it's impressive nonetheless.
