About me

My name is Qingyuan Dong (Cheen-you-an Self explanatory) and I am a freshman engineering student at Duke. I go by my preferred name Carrina. I was born in Beijing, immigrated here when I was three years old and grew up in Silicon Valley, California.

Fun facts:

- Currently looking at a minor in Cultural Anthropology

- I play tennis

- I like to shop online (not necessarily buying things, I just look through 10s of pages on forever21 because it's stress relieving)

- I miss California weather

Favorite Matlab Demonstration

My favorite Matlab Demonstrations are a tie between Traveling Salesman and the Bending Truss. I liked the Traveling Salesman because it could potentially save a lot of travel costs, and the Bending Truss because it was kind of funny watching the shapes dance.
