About Me
My name is Advaitha Anne and I'm a member of the Duke Class of 2021. I'm interested in studying some combination of biomedical engineering, electrical and computer engineering (ECE), and economics. I was born in Pittsburgh but grew up in Hockessin, Delaware. I'm enjoy photography, writing, traveling, and watching ESPN.

MATLAB Demonstration
My favourite demonstration was the one titled "Changing Transparency". Compared the the regular 3-D plots, I thought that this demonstration was cool because it showed you how to reveal the actual working of a 3-D object that may have been previously masked. It allows for the accurate graphing of more complex mathematical models and the explanation of a texture map shows how this can be applied for meteorology. Plus, it was nice to play around with the different levels of opaqueness and the lighting. I thought this was one of the most applicable demonstrations for real life problems.
