About Me

Hello, my name is Katrina. I am from California and I am currently a freshman at Duke University. I plan to major in biomedical engineering, but my main goal in life is to become a bilingual physician. This is a link to my favorite song at the moment: New Slang, by The Shins.

Grand Challenges for Engineers

One of the Grand Challenges for Engineers I find most interesting is the goal to "engineer better medicines". Below is a link to an example of an article discussing one advancement of this goal:

Favorite MATLAB Example

My favorite MATLAB example was the one titled "World Traveler 3-D Globe". In this program, the user could "fly" from one city to another. I thought that this was very fascinating because it shows how MATLAB can be used to created 3-D visuals as well as interactive ones.
