About Me
I am a current student in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I am from a suburb of Columbus, Ohio called Lewis Center. I've lived in Ohio my whole life (and am very proud of my state), and I graduated from Olentangy Orange High School. I have no idea what type of engineering I want to major in, possibly BME or ECE.
Name Pronunciation
It is pronounced "COR-ee SIMM-er-er." Yes, there are two "er"s in my last name. I commonly get "Simmer," or "Simmererer," or "Simmererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererererer." Any are acceptable.
Current Courses
I am currently enrolled in these courses (Fall 2017):
- CHEM 201DL: Organic Chemistry I
- MATH 212: Multivariable Calculus
- WRITING 101: Ecology of Disease
- EGR 103L: Computational Methods in Engineering

MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite demonstration was "Traveling Salesman." I have heard of that problem before, and it's incredibly complex to find the shortest closed circuit path between a number of cities. It's fascinating to watch the MATLAB program go through and find a shorter path (which takes incredibly long the more cities there are).
