About Me

My name is Cole Arora, a student in the Pratt School of Engineering (obviously) with hopes of achieving a major in biomedical engineering, provided I don't crumble to pieces under the oppressive entity that is MATLAB.


Name Phonetic

Cole Arora = "Coal" "Ah-Roar-Ah"

Note: my last name is pronounced exactly like Aurora in Aurora Borealis.


Interests

Coffee, waking up early for no apparent reason, getting work done.


Aside

I am always willing to consider the possibility that I am a fool.


What they say in Finland

"There's more than one way to roast a reindeer."


"Grand Challenges" article

http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/19/grand-plans-for-engineers/

This article, printed in the New York Times, discusses the Grand Challenges, with a slight focus on the exponential growth that the field of medicine will experience as it delves more into information technology.


A second article I found delves into these medical aspects - specifically, the Grand Challenge of "reverse-engineering" the brain (posted below). The article discusses how neuroscience and artificial intelligence are beginning to mix, and goes into detail on some current projects at MIT.
