About Me
My name is Varun Prasad. I am a freshman in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I am interested in biomedical engineering and mathematics, and I am also pre-med. I enjoy playing basketball and video games.
Name Pronunciation
My name is pronounced "Va-ROON Pra-SAAD."
Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the one of Earth's topography. It was interesting to see how this demonstration integrated both 2D and 3D plots. The green and blue colors on the plots, indicating land altitude and sea level, respectively, presented the topography in a very detailed but easily understood way. I also thought the depiction of the globe with these same features was very cool to look at. Overall, it is very interesting to see how well MATLAB can use data to create very detailed and accurate renditions of our world.
