About Me
I am a first year student planning to major in biomedical engineering and economics. At Duke, I hope to become involved with the debate team, investment club, cultural organizations, and undergraduate research. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar, swimming, traveling, and watching Arrested Development. Currently, I am leaning towards pursuing a career in finance or consulting after graduation.
Name Pronunciation
My name is Anirudh Mohan. Despite the fact that my first name is only seven letters long, I have encountered nearly ten different pronunciations of it. As such, for the sake of simplicity, people generally call me Ani (UH-knee).

MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is "Viewing a Penny". This demonstration reveals an optimal method with which an image of a penny can be reproduced on a computer screen. To me, this demonstration is particularly interesting, because it illustrates how math can be applied to enhance the quality of the image. It turns out that the most realistic-looking penny is not the one which is shaded according to its contour map, but rather the one shaded according to the Laplacian of its contour map.
