About Me
My name is Tamra Nebabu and I am currently a freshman in Pratt. I intend to major in BME with a minor in physics, but we'll see how that goes.
Name Pronunciation
While my name is phonetic, some may have difficulty with the pronunciation. My first name rhymes with "camera" (that is, if you pronounce it with two syllables) and my last name is pronounced Nuh-BAH-boo or Neh-BAH-boo. I am quite aware of how amusing it can be to say my surname. I am also known around campus as "Batman," which is a more memorable substitute for my name.
Interests
Seeing as I have a variety of interests, I have sorted them into two broad categories:
Extracurricular Interests
- Theater
- Improv
- Visual arts (drawing, painting, digital illustration, etc)
- Music (vocals and piano)
- Model UN/Debate
Subject Interests
- Astrophysics
- Biotechnology
- AI
- Creative Writing
- Trivia
Homework 1: Grand Challenge

Homework 2
My favorite demo was "Visualizing Sound." I found interesting to contemplate over the mathematical nature of sound and how functions and raw data could be turned into something aesthetically pleasing. By tweaking the function, making the frequency a little higher or lower, or adjusting the amplitude, one can mimic everything from birds chirping to a Chinese gong.
