About me

I am a student at Duke University, class of 2015. I am majoring in Biomedical Engineering, with a minor in Finance. I am an international student! The Netherlands is my home country (yes it's the country where weed is legal and where the prostitutes are).

Name Pronunciation

The way you pronounce my name depends on if you say it in Dutch or English. The Dutch pronunciation is AAH lex BRAHNT smaah, AAH as in when the dentist asks you to open your mouth, AH is the same idea but then shorter. Since probably no one here at Duke can pronounce it in Dutch fluently, you can just say it in the American way: El lex BREHNTsmah.

Favorite Matlab Demo

My favorite demo is the 'The Traveling Salesman Problem'. This demo shows the shortest distance of traveling between cities as a closed circuit. The cities are chosen at random. I like this demo because it applies programming in the real world and just because it look awesome!
