About Me
Hi my name is Austin Anthis and I am a student at Duke University! I am currently interested in pursuing either Mechanical or Civil Engineering. I love to play lacrosse and tennis, sing and be involved in Christian fellowship. I am from Katy, Texas, which is just west of Houston. I also lived in Nigeria from 2003-2006 when my parents served as medical missionaries. I have three younger sisters and two great parents! Go Blue Devils!

This Fall I am enrolled in:
- EGR103: Computational Methods in Engineering
- Math 212: Multi-variable Calculus
- Chemistry 101: Core Concepts in Chemistry

- Engineering 90l: Introduction to Engineering
Extracurricular Activities
I just joined CRU which is a Christian fellowship on campus. I am also a part of the "Something Borrowed, Something Blue" A Capella group and a new member of Duke Motorsports.
Grand Challenges for Engineering Article
This article contains a project in the same field I want to pursue as a career:

MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the "Travelling Salesman" example. Given a certain number of randomly placed cities on continental U.S. the program provides a closed circuit route which visits all of the cities in the shortest distance. The coolest part about the program was it begins with a long route and systematically changes the path until it finds the shortest one. Watching the code in progress was fascinating.
