Biography

My name is Sam Butensky. I am a Freshman with an intended major of Biomedical Engineering. Coding is an entirely new concept for me. I went to high school in Livingston, NJ. I played soccer and basketball as well as performed in the Wind Symphony and Jazz Ensemble playing trumpet. Currently I'm taking Math 107, Chem 152, Physics 61, and Neuroscience 101. I am also conducting research with an MSTP student, Jordan Komisarow, at the Duke University Medical Center in Dr. Chris Kontos' Cardiology lab.

Favorite Matlab Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was the Loma Prieta Earthquake demo. I thought it was interesting to see how the demo manipulates the raw data in order to produce a 3-D graph of the earthquake as the end product. The demo does a great job of showing each step along the way, from the manipulation, to graphing the data, zoning in on a "chunk" of the data, manipulating those graphs even more, and then producing four subplots, one of which was a really cool 3-D model. Basically, I thought how the demo took me from point A to point B was pretty awesome.
