Name Pronunciation
My given name "Madison Jaffrey" is pronounced like "Mad-eh-son Jah-free". I don't go by nicknames unless you're really close to me so please refrain from calling me "Maddie", "Mads", "MJ" etc.

Projects
Currently, I'm working on a semester project with a team of other first year Duke students in my Engineering Design and Communication class. It involves cute dogs so you should be invested (Stay tuned for updates!).
A previous project I completed with my partner Bryce Fitzpatrick was an adaptable spoon for teens with Arthrogryposis. Click here to watch a video of our project.
Grand Challenges for Engineering Articles
I've always thought that one of the more important challenges of the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering was providing access to clean water. Below is an article about how it's an issue in the US.
