About Me

I am from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and am the youngest in my family. I am a big sports fan and as a Minnesotan, I am a big Golden Gopher fan. In my free time I enjoy sailing, playing soccer, watching movies, and spending time with my friends and family. I am currently a student in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. Though I am still undecided in my major, I am interested in both Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering.

Name Pronunciation

"Annika Hsu" is pronounced like "AH-nick-uh SHOE." Yes, shoe, like you wear on your feet.

MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB Demonstration is the "Traveling Salesman" under the "Other Examples" category. I love taking road trips, so it was fun to watch the computer continually generate different routes between a varying number of cities across America. In the photo attached, notice there is a red dot over the Minneapolis area. This is another reason why the "Traveling Salesman" is my favorite demonstration.
