About Me!

Me!!

Hi, my name is Brian Lin. I'm from Lake Zurich, Illinois (about an hour north of Chicago). I went to a pretty large public school called Adlai E. Stevenson high school which currently has a bit under 4,000 students!

Currently a 1st year BME student here at Duke. Some interests include:

  • Going for night runs with my friend Austin
  • Playing guitar
  • Learning how to speak Chinese (and then hopefully Korean, Cantonese, and Japanese)
  • Cooking and baking things
  • Ultimate frisbee
  • Making bad League of Legends puns

MATLAB

Four Linked Tori

Four Linked Tori [2]

I haven't had too much experience in the computer programming world, but with my few forays (including the LaTeX lab), I've really grown to appreciate organization, simplicity, and efficiency. When using R in the past and running T tests and other Stats tests across large matrices of data (such as histone methylation across the blood samples of 80 people), I'd often end up with up to a couple minutes of downtime waiting for the program to run. With that in mind, it's really interesting to see how MATLAB can create a complicated-looking graphic from such a simple program. Of course, this is very different from churning through large amounts of data, but it's impressive nonetheless.
