About Me

I am a first-year undergraduate student in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I am a prospective Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track.

Personal Interests

I enjoy playing piano, badminton, and League of Legends during my free time.

Grand Challenges for Engineering

One of the goals described in the Grand Challenges for Engineering is to engineer the tools of scientific discovery. The following article explores atomic clocks in space, which can be extremely helpful in maintaining accurate timekeeping and in calculations for fundamental physics. By improving this technology, more advanced and accurate calculations can be computed, thereby furthering scientific discovery in physics and other related fields.

MATLAB

Of the various MATLAB demonstrations, my favorite one is the "Viewing a Penny". It is really cool how such intricate details on the penny can be modeled by a few lines of operations on MATLAB. The multiple ways in which MATLAB could present the data of the penny is really interesting and demonstrative of MATLAB's computational utility.
