About Me
I am a first year student planning to major in biomedical engineering and economics. At Duke, I hope to become involved with the debate team, investment club, cultural organizations, and undergraduate research. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar, swimming, traveling, and watching Arrested Development. Currently, I am leaning towards pursuing a career in finance or consulting after graduation.
Name Pronunciation
My name is Anirudh Mohan. Despite the fact that my first name is only seven letters long, I have encountered nearly ten different pronunciations of it. As such, for the sake of simplicity, people generally call me Ani (UH-knee).

MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is "Viewing a Penny". This demonstration reveals an optimal method with which an image of a penny can be reproduced on a computer screen. To me, "Viewing a Penny" is particularly interesting, because it illustrates how math can be applied to enhance the quality of an image. It turns out that the most realistic-looking penny is not the one which is shaded according to its contour map, but rather the one shaded according to the Laplacian of its contour map.
