About Me

I am a Pratt engineering student in the Class of 2015. I am currently torn between mechanical and civil environmental engineering. I am on the Duke Ultimate Frisbee Team and hope to eventually join the Duke chapter of Engineers Without Borders.

Grand Challenges for Engineering

The Grand Challenge that most interests me is the providing of clean water to all. This is a related article on a potential method.

The name is Jacob Goyne: Jay-cub Go-win (or sometimes said Goin')

MATLAB Demos

The MATLAB demo that I found most interesting was the viewing of the penny. I found it fascinating how MATLAB could be utilized to map the topography of something on the smaller scale such as a penny. I also find this interesting as it utilizes 3D graphing which is a subject I am currently studying in Math 103.
