About Me
I am a freshman studying Mechanical engineering at Duke University. I'm also taking courses in the Doctors, Lawyers, and Scientists in Medieval and Renaissance Europe Focus in Duke's Trinity College.
Interests
I'm very interested in aerospace engineering and visual art (my favorite medium is oil pastel). I admire/am inspired by the work of Edgar Degas and Leonardo da Vinci. I also enjoy reading works of philosophy (especially [Plato]) and Classical and Medieval literature.
Grand Challenges for Engineering
The [http//:www.nae.edu/ NAE]'s Grand Challenges for Engineering are pretty amazing; this particular article on improving urban infrastructure by improving driver/vehicle interfacing caught my interest:
