About Me

My name is Emily, and I'm a student in EGR103. I'm interested in biomedical engineering, but am also very open to changing my mind. Specifically, I'm interested in neuroscience, especially Neuroprosthetics, so if you know of anything neuroprosthetics related on Duke's campus, or any other ways I could get involved, feel free to let me know!

Name Pronounciation

My first name, Emily, is pronounced like Emily Blunt pronounces her first name. My last name is pronounced "berry," like the kind of fruit.

Current Courses

For Fall 2017, I am taking:

  • Chemistry
  • Math
  • EGR 103
  • Another Engineering Design Course

With that in mind, one of the challenges that particularly speaks to me is improving the accessibility of clean water. Here are a few articles regarding the importance of this issue, as well as potential solutions:
