Background

I was born in Poland, then moved to Columbus, Ohio when I was six. After two years, I found myself in Morgantown, West Virginia for the rest of my education before coming to Duke.

Current University Plans

I plan to major in biomedical engineering with a little molecular biology or materials engineering sprinkled in.

Interests

I enjoy spending most of my time with my very good friend Lilly on East Campus.

Grand Challenges for Engineering

Engineer Better Medicines

MATLAB Demonstration

I was fascinated by the "Viewing a Penny" demonstration. While I realized that there had to be some standard to minting coin currency, I had never thought of it past some "original molding". Seeing the actual measurements of a penny solidified by hard data and precise measurements made me realize the implications of MATLAB. Data from any quantitative measurements may be recorded in the form of a matrix. MATLAB provides us with the tools to "unpackage" that data into a form which we can use and understand.
