About Me
I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. I plan to major in ME, but I am also considering BME. I love being active and being outside. I played soccer and lacrosse in high school. Both of my parents attended Duke University so I have grown up a Blue Devil. I have been a huge Duke basketball fan for as long as I can remember. I am planning on joining the club ski team, being apart of DEID, tenting, and joining either an SLG or a frat. In addition I would love to study abroad while at Duke.

I feel like Luke Miller is pretty self explainatory.

MatLab Demonstations
I really enjoyed the Earth Topography demonstration. I think it is really cool how you can make a realistic globe out of only matlab, and the code did not even seem to be that crazy. I also thought the 3-d drawling of the vase was cool. It took a 2-d version and rotated it around a middle axis. I learned how diverse and usful Matlab can be.
