About me
Hello, this is my user page. I am currently updating this page for EGR103 Homework Assignment 1. I am currently a first-year undergraduate student at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. Currently, I am most interested in majoring in Biomedical Engineering. (I'm not going to write anything too personal because this is a public page and I do not want strangers stalking me)
Grand Challenges for Engineering Articles
One part of my user page is to include an article about the Grand Challenges for Engineering. These are basically the 14 problems that have been identified as most pressing issues that need to be solved (hopefully through engineering) in the near future. My article focuses on the "Engineering better medicine" challenge. Essentially, it discusses CRISPR, which is a revolutionary tool for gene engineering.
