About Me

I am a member of the Pratt School of Engineering Class of 2017, born and raised in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Currently, I plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering but understand that my interests are subject to change.

Name Pronunciation

My last name, Udelhofen, is German by origin. Originally spelled 'Udelhoven', the 'v' was changed to an 'f' when my family immigrated to the United States. Udelhofen is pronounced "YOU-dell-hoe-fin".

MATLAB Example

My favorite demonstration is the Earth's Topography demonstration. This demonstration shows how to transform a set of altitude data into a 2D or 3D graph of the Earth's topography. The process, which is done in a relatively small number of steps, creates an incredible visual tool out of a collection of numbers-amazing! While topography may not be useful in engineering, 2D and 3D graphing certainly will be!
