About Me

I am a freshman this year at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. My name is Li Ang, but you could call me Ang Li or Ang or Li. I am fine with all of those. I am from China, and have studied in Singapore for a few years. (In case you want to know more about them, I have linked the wiki pages to the country names.)

Phonetic pronunciation of my name

My name should be pronounced as /LEEEEEEEE Ang/, which i guess doesn't help much.

Personal Interests

Honestly, I am a fan of all sorts of games! Video games, comp games, board games or anything like that!
By the way, if anyone is a Dota player, please please please contact me ASAP!

Interests in Pratt

I am currently thinking about BME, which i assume most of the "Pratties" are thinking the same. But who knows what will come? Maybe I'd end up doing something completely unrelated to that.
Also, I looooooooove CHEMISTRY! Aren't the organic molecules simply too cute to be considered something seriously academic?

This one is my favorite:

A TNT Molecule.
TNT molecule found through the all-mighty GOOGLE.

P.S. I can draw perfect hexagon for the benzene rings super fast!

Grand Challenges for Engineering articles

While I was doing some research, the following articles attracted my eyeballs like a magnet attracting paper clips:
