Phonetic Pronunciation of my Name

My name is Kala Viswanathan. Kala means art in Sanskrit. The first a in Kala is a soft a or "u" sound, so the name is pronounced as Culla. Viswanathan is my last name. The name is pronounced as if there was an h before the letter w. If you break it up by syllables it is Vish-wa-na (as in naw)-than.

Favorite Demo:

My favorite Demo was called Making Objects Transparent. I was able to see both the opaque object and after running the code, visualize the interior of the object. I was able to use the "flow" function to see the complexity of motion of a submerged jet, which was not apparent while visualizing the opaque motion.
