I wouldn't encourage attempting my last name, but if you wish: Yalcinbas- pronounced Y'all-CHUN-Bosh. (The actual spelling is Yalçınbaş)

Grand Challenges Article
The Grand Challenge I found an article about is the challenge of reverse-engineering the brain.
Reverse-Engineering the Brain, Fred Hapgood, MIT News, July 2006, 20 September 2011 (Reverse-engineering the brain)
Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration was "Earth's Topography" because the techniques therein utilized relatively simple commands and two dimensional data to create an impressive map display. It was a worthy example of a real world MATLAB application.
