My name is Aaron Sherman. The phonetic pronunciation of my name looks like this: Air-in Sure-min.

I am an active member of Campus Crusade for Christ and the Duke Circus Club here at Duke. I have juggled for 4 years, unicycled for three, and have been a balloon twister for 2 years. One of the biggest things in my life is my faith and my desire to get to know Christ. I struggle often with school work and am not perfect, but I get along alright and have some amazing friends here at Duke.

When I saw we had to find an article about one of the grand challenges, and I saw the challenge summarized as "provide energy from fusion" my mind immediately jumped to a project that is still under construction known as General Fusion. They have what is apparently a whole new approach to nuclear fusion involving a number of huge pistons. Their website can be found here: General Fusion

And here is an article describing the project and their research: A New Approach to Fusion, Tyler Hamilton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Technology Review, created 31 July 2009, accessed 23 September 2010 (Provide energy from fusion)
