About Me
I'm currently a student in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University, and I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering, provided that things do indeed go according to plan.
Name Pronunciation
My last name happens to be Durham, and hopefully everyone at Duke knows how to pronounce the city in which they live. If not, DUR-um is generally the preferred pronunciation.
Homework
My favorite demo is the Game of Life, simply because it was strangely mesmerizing and I ended up running it a bunch of times to see how long it could run for until the points became virtually static.
Grand Challenges
As a prospective BME, as far as the Grand Challenges go, I'm most interested in engineering better, more personalized medicine:
