About Me
My name is Charlie Niebanck, and I love long walks on the beach, getting caught in the rain, and unwinding by making numerous webpages on the Pratt Pundit. You'll often find me in the Teer lab. During my brief time here at Duke, I have formed a very profound, if not unholy, bond with computer number 21. My best friend and PIC is Parker Pearson.
Education
I went to Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey. I'm currently enrolled in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University.
Future Plans
I hope to graduate before the turn of the decade. I'm an aspiring father as well as a practicing magician. I was forced to give up my dream of a dual major in magic and art history and turn to engineering. We will see how that goes.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite demonstration was the graphics example called Earth's Topography. I never would have thought to use a two dimensional plot in MATLAB to create an outline of a world map. However, with just the data set for the altitude of the Earth's surface, MATLAB easily translates the points into a map by plotting points with an altitude of zero. Furthermore, you can translate this map into a three dimensional globe with the sphere function. The Earth's Topography demonstration was a cool application of MATLAB that I hadn't thought of.
