About Me
I am an undergraduate student in the [Pratt School of Engineering] at [Duke University]. I am from the city of [Palm Beach Gardens], which is located in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Interests
I played for William T. Dwyer High School's lacrosse team, and want to play for the Duke University men's club lacrosse team. Back at home I worked at [Loggerhead Marinelife Center], a sea turtle rehabilitation hospital in Juno Beach, Florida. I love the ocean, and hope to visit the Marine Lab in Beaufort soon.
Matlab Demo
After learning many of MatLab's capabilities through the demo videos, my favorite MatLab demo is, hands-down, the Minesweeper game (found under the Other Demos folder). After a long night of coding on both Latex and MatLab, it was a nice surprise to open up the demos and find a quick diversion. Coming in at a close second is the Klein Bottle preview (under the subsection 3-D Visualization), simply because it models one of the most interesting concepts in mathematics I have ever encountered - that is, creating a four-dimensional object in three-dimensional space.
Grand Challenges for Engineering
The following two articles note advances in solar energy technology, increasing the efficiency and reducing the cost of solar energy. Both examine artificial photosynthesis as a potential method for collecting solar energy.
