About Me
I am a sophomore at Duke University, currently in the process of transferring from Trinity into Pratt as a BME major. I hail from Millburn, NJ, and lament the lack of good bagels and Italian food in Durham (although BBQ makes up the difference). I have been a die-hard Duke basketball fan from an early age.
Name Pronunciation
I pronounce my name "Alex Guevara" as AH-lecks Guh-VAR-uh, with the "VAR" portion rhyming with "far" rather than "air." Che Guevara's page might have some more comprehensive info on that.
Interests
I enjoy running (when I'm in shape that is) and playing soccer. I am also into trying new restaurants, especially if dessert is involved.

Favorite MATLAB Demo
My favorite MATLAB demonstration was "Viewing a Penny," because I liked the different steps used to evolve the representation of the penny. I thought it especially clever to plot brightness as a function of the LaPlacian of the height (I remember learning about this technique once).
