About Me

Hi! My name is Brooke Watson and I'm from Tampa, Florida. I am currently in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University with the hopes of becoming a biomedical engineer.

Grand Challenges for Engineers Article

This article explains the discovery of a computer algorithm that is almost as precise and accurate as a human who maps out the brain. This discovery could potentially increase the speed of image analysis.

Introduction to MATLAB

Favorite Demonstration

My favorite example was the “Viewing the Penny” demonstration. This example exceeded my expectations on the utilization of Matlab and exposed me to the amazing capabilities of the system. Also, I found it interesting how the code was relatively simple in order to make the penny. The extent of the code was just to draw a Contour plot, manipulate the color and lighting of the Pseudocolor Plot, and then to produce a 3-D plot. Frankly, I found all of the graphic demonstrations, like Earth’s topography, to be extremely enticing.
