Greetings! My name is Cassandra Shriver. I am a freshman currently intending on double majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Biology with the end goal of becoming a biomechanical engineer. I am a member of the Duke University Marching Band as well as Cru, a campus ministry. I participate in intramural soccer and am a fanatic part of the Cameron Crazies whenever I'm not playing for band. My hobbies include playing piano, racquetball, and rock climbing.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration:

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the graphics: 3-D surface plots. I simply love how a bunch of numbers can be represented graphically in an appealing, 3-D figure. The way the colors change with the gradient creates an interesting and aesthetic dynamic. It's complex, but truly mesmerizing.
