About Me

I am an undergraduate student at Duke University expected to graduate in 2019. Also, I am enrolled in the Pratt School of Engineering and I intend to major in biomedical engineering with the aspiration of creating a start-up company.


Interests

I enjoy traveling, watching and playing basketball, robotics, and stock simulations.

Name Pronunciation

It's pretty simple as long as you don't pronounce it as SO-HAM. It's more like a SO-hum.

MATLAB Demonstration

Out of all the MATLAB demonstrations my favorite is the 3-D plotting under graphics; specifically, creating surface and mesh plots. I liked this demonstration the most because of its applicability to my life as a student studying engineering. I find myself constantly referring back to this demonstration whenever I need to get an idea of how a 3-D graph looks for a particular math problem. It really highlights how functional MATLAB is and it illustrates the drawings with great graphics. The mesh tool is also very intuitive and creates surfaces with ease. There are also many more types of plots like contour lines which I find extremely useful when looking at cross-sections of 3-D graphs or level sets. --Smp67 (talk) 23:56, 10 September 2015 (EDT)
