ABOUT ME

Hello there, my name is Ayo! Pronounced Ah-Yaw or I-Aw. Now that you can hopefully pronounce my name, you are qualified to learn more about me! I am currently a freshman in Duke's Pratt school of engineering. Obviously I should add, its why I have a pundit page. I'm undecided about what I eventually want to major in, so I'll probably update that when I decide on something.

INTERESTS

I am really interested in alternative energy and fuel research. Fortunately, Duke has awesome programs and opportunities for that. So look me up in a few years to see what ive done! Also, rather prominently I like to dabble in the dark art of Netflix. But sadly, as a Prattster I haven't had much time to watch most of my shows. Hopefully I will get to do that soon. Also, I really enjoy cooking, its awesome!

FAVOURITE MEME

I mean, who doesn't like a good cup of tea? Well, me- I prefer hot chocolate.

GRAND CHALLENGES

The grand challenges are really interesting and relevant fields/ areas that people are doing ground breaking work in. The challenge that most interests me is the Provide Energy from Fusion challenge. A great article on the challenge is linked here: Can engineers achieve the Holy grail of energy: Infinite and clean, Charles Seife, The Discover magazine , 6 October 2008 , Accessed 12 September 2017 (Providing Energy from Fusion)

FAVOURITE MATLAB DEMO

The 3-D Surface Plots app demonstration.

This demonstration is really useful! It helps you look at the different ways you can customize mesh plots, and then gives you the code to do that. That is really useful when you have an idea of how the graph should appear, but you don't know how to describe it (or the code to create it). You cam try different configurations, see the graph that best suits your needs and than copy the code for it into your script.
