About Me

I am currently a class of 2021 engineering student looking to double major in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I'm still open to a lot of different career paths and options after finishing my four years at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering.

Name Pronunciation

My name, David Liu, is pronounced as DAY-vid LOO.

Current Courses

I'm currently taking EGR 103, CS 201, Math 212, and Writing 101.

Activities

I'm currently involved in a couple activities. I am a member of both Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Duke University Math Union (DUMU).

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration (Homework 2)

My favorite MATLAB Demonstration is "Earth's Topography". I love how the demonstration goes step-by-step, from the contour plot to the 2D Image Plot and finally to the 3D plot, in order to describe how to start with a data file (topo.mat) and end up with a 3D representation of the globe. Another feature about the demonstration I love is that because they give three different ways to represent Earth's Topography, I have the ability to use any of the options. If only a 2D Image is necessary, I can use that. If a Contour Plot is required, I have the background for that. If I need the 3D Plot, I have the ability to create that as well. Finally, I like how they give example images along with the code so that I can check to see if I coded Earth's Topography correctly in each of the 3 scenarios.
