About Me

I am a senior neuroscience major and education minor at Duke University.

Name Pronunciation

My first name, Ege, is pronounced like reggae music without the r. I come from Istanbul, Turkey, and in Turkish, Ege means the Aegean Sea.

Courses I Am Taking This Semester

  • Computer Methods in Engineering (EGR103L)
  • Educational Psychology (EDUC240)
  • Intermediate German I (GERMAN203)
  • Functional Neuroanatomy (NEUROSCI380L)

Grand Challenges For Engineering Articles

Here is the article I chose from the Grand Challenges for Engineering Pundit Page:

  • Reverse Engineering The Brain, Sally Adee, IEE Spectrum, updated 1 June 2008, accessed 15 September 2014 (Grand Challenge: Reverse-engineer the brain)

Favorite MATLAB Demo

I really enjoyed seeing the 3D globe pop up when I ran the code for the demo called Earth's Topography. When I was looking over the code, I was most fascinated by how simple it was to adjust the perceived lighting on different parts of the image by using the light function in which you can input x, y, z coordinates as well as a matrix that specifies color/tint. It was also nice to be able to decipher the code; for instance, I was able to identify the hold on and off commands that we learned for graphs being applied to images.
