About Me

I am a current freshman at Duke University planning to study Electrical and Computer Engineering with a double major in Computer Science. I also plan to pursue a concentration in Machine Learning. I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and some of my other passions include Astronomy, Game Development, and Skateboarding.

Name Pronunciation

My full name is pronounced "OAR-Land-Dough JAY-Cub TAR-Dee". Most of my family just calls me by my middle name Jacob, but I don't have a preference. Call me whatever floats your boat!

Current Courses

As of this semester, my classes are as follows:

  • ECE 110L - Fundamentals of Electrical and Computer Engineering
  • EGR 103L - Computational Methods in Engineering
  • PHYSICS 151L - Introductory Mechanics
  • MATH 112L - Laboratory Calculus II

Grand Challenges of Engineering

This is actually the first time I've heard about these grand challenges. Having looked over them, I can see why these are considered the next goals in technological advancement that will act as the catalyst for human evolution. In particular, I strongly associate with the following three challenges:

  • Provide Access to Clean Water
  • Make Solar Energy Economical
  • Enhance Virtual Reality
