About me

I'm a freshman at Duke University, considering double majoring in Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was born in Beijing, China and spent my first 18 years there. I studied abroad in Washington, DC, for my junior year in high school.

Interests

I became a violinist when I was three and half, simply because the music teacher in my kindergarten thought my hands were fat. I'm a huge fan of sports. I play soccer, basketball, ping pong and volleyball in my free time. I love outdoor activities like camping, hiking, climbing, etc. And I'm a huge fan of photography.

Fun fact

I'm a color blind and left-handed person, which makes me 1% of human population.

Current classes

EGR 103, CHINESE 456, COMPSCI 201, MATH 212, WRITING 101, MUSIC 204.

Favorite demonstration

My favorite demonstration is Loma Prieta Earthquake. Because it shows how to apply Matlab to real life situation. It demonstrates the power of Matlab--it can analyse a given database in various ways and directly give us the result by plotting. Each way of the analysis brings us a different perspective of looking at the problem and helps improve the efficiency of solving it.
