About Me
Pre-Collegiate Life
Hi, I am Jaser Rollins. I was born in Voorhees, New Jersey on May 4, 1996 to Nebila and Jeff Rollins, and have lived in Marlton, NJ all my life. I attended Jaggard Elementary School for my K-5 education, Marlton Middle School for grades 6-8, and Cherokee High School for grades 9-12. In high school, I served as an executive for the Renaissance club, Latin club, and SAT club. I have also competitively played the piano for the past 10 years. I have a younger sister named Nadeen who is currently a sophomore in high school.
Current Endeavors
I am a student in the Duke University Pratt School of Engineering Class of 2018. I am currently pursuing a major in Biomedical engineering, although my other academic interests include Arabic, Public Policy, and Political Science. I am a member of the Duke Africa club and the Duke Ethiopian club, but am actively seeking other co-curriculars to get involved in, as well.
Future Aspirations
Though I am not certain what the future holds for me, I do foresee myself receiving a graduate level education, and having a career that I love and enjoy.
Name Pronunciation
Phonetically, my first name is said like Jasper but without the "p," and my last name is said like, "Rah-lins."

Grand Challenges for Engineering
High-Powered Lasers Deliver Fusion Energy Breakthrough, David Biello, Scientific American, posted 12 February 2014, accessed 14 September 2014 (Provide energy from fusion)
Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite demonstration from the MATLAB Help tool was the "Viewing a Penny" demo because I thought that it showcased a unique capability of MATLAB that I had not seen before. The demonstration depicted a penny in several different drawings including a Contour plot, a Pseudocolor plot, a Pseudocolor plot with a colormap, and a surface plot with a colormap. All these drawings were intriguing to see due to their various shading and lighting techniques. I am excited to learn this code and apply it to other objects accessible in MATLAB.
