About me

I am currently an undergraduate student at Duke University pursuing a major in Mechanical Engineering, possible a double with Economics. I am from Howell, New Jersey and was born on December 31, 1992.

Name Pronunciation

"Thomas Puglisi" == "TAH-muhss pug-LEE-see"

Grand Challenges

I thought this article was very interesting: LHC Smashes Particle Collision Record, Discovery News, created 24 May 2011, accessed 10 September 2011 (engineer the tools of scientific discovery)

MATLAB

My favorite demo was the 3D surface plots demo. I had no idea MATLAB could handle anything in 3D, and so easily at that. I come form a background in Java, so I am very excited to be using such a simple, yet very useful programming language.
