About Me
I am a Vietnamese undergraduate student of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I am interested in majoring in Biomedical Engineering/ Computer Science and would like to explore the many options I have here.
Background Information
I was born in Hanoi, Vietnam and studied at middle and high schools in Singapore. Having a global perspective and cultural tolerance is thus very important to me.
Current Courses
For the Fall 2013 semester I am taking the following courses:
- Chemistry 201: Organic Chemistry
- Math 212: Multivariable Calculus
- EGR 103: Computational Methods to Engineering
- Writing 101: Writing about Social Movements
Grand Challenges for Engineering Articles
- Liter by Liter, Indians get cleaner water, Amy Yee, The New York Times, published 21 March 2012, accessed 15 September 2013 (Grand Challenge: Provide access to clean water)
Favorite MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the Bending Modes of a Truss. It introduced me to the new but intriguing concept of a truss structure. Users can play 12 animated natural bending modes of a 2-D truss and above all, the animations are fun to watch!
