About Me
My name is Eric Essoyan. I was born on November 12, 1992 in Stockton, California, where I have lived my entire life. I come from a family of five, with my two younger sisters Allie(15) and Lulu(12) and my parents Kathy and Steve. I am currently a freshman at Duke University pursuing a B.S.E in Civil Engineering with a Certificate in Architecture.
Interests
I have an extremely varied set of interests, but my greatest passion is board sports. Snowboarding is my favorite sport; there is no better feeling than being on the mountain. I also thoroughly enjoy wakeboarding, skateboarding, and surfing. To make things simple, I love to be outdoors. Aside from board sports I played golf and tennis in high school and still enjoy both.
Music
My music interest is about as sporadic as it gets. I will listen to anything and everything, including: rap, hip-hop, reggae, r&b, country, folk, techno, dubstep, metal, ska, classical, and classic rock. A few standout artists that I take a particular liking toward are:
- Bob Dylan
- Creedence Clearwater Revival
- Slightly Stoopid
- Wiz Khalifa
Television
There is no better feeling than the brain-melting experience that is watching television. My personal favorites are as follows:
- Wilfred
- The Office
- Workaholics
- Tosh.0
- South Park
- Family Guy
- Lie to Me

MATLAB Demonstrations
I am not just sucking up when I say that the MATLAB demonstrations are extremely helpful. My personal favorite was the "Gallery". It portrays several different images and figures, including the MATLAB logo, Werner Boy's surface, and the Klein Bottle to name a few. Although we have worked with some very introductory figures, I had no idea MATLAB was capable of producing such intricate figures. The code that is provided that is necessary to produce these figures was also very interesting. This demonstration was my favorite because it opened my eyes to what MATLAB can really do.
