'''Favorite Matlab Demo'''
 +
My favorite demo was one not included on the list of ones to look out. The demo title "minesweeper" is really intriguing because of the massive amount of effort needed to make such a code. A simple game such as minesweeper needs a lot of difficult matlab programming to execute. The codes are all not very difficult, but they have to be precise. It is also a well-known game that seems to be easy to create, but it take meticulous work by engineers to create it.

Name Ahmed Alshareef (AH-med Al-sha-reef)


Information: I am a Freshmen at Duke University, currently intending to major in biomedical engineering. I came from Columbia, SC, where I have lived approximately 7 years. I was born and raised in Gaza, Palestine until the age of 9, when I moved to the United States

Interests I love sports, almost every kind of sport. My favorite to play are soccer, table-tennis, and basketball. I enjoy watching almost every sport, even the dreadfully boring golf game.



Engineering Grand Challenges Article The article that most interested me about the Engineering Grand Challenges was related to the grand challenge title "Reverse-Engineering the Brain." Having always been interested in neuroscience-related topics, this challenges about creating artificial intelligence that models the human brain is very intriguing. This from of artificial intelligence can be infinitaly useful in modern health applications, such as drug testing and brain damage diagnosis. Neural engineering has definitely made strides in the past several years in overcoming this challenges. Further advances in technology and nerve cell code is essential for completion however.
