About Me

I am a freshman undergraduate of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I plan to major in Mechanical Engineering with the Aerospace Certificate.

Name Pronunciation

My name, Russell Buescher, is pronounced: "Ruhs-uhl Bush-er" with stress on the first syllable of both first and last names. My family name was originally spelled: "Büscher" but the "ü" was changed to "ue" upon immigration to America, causing confusion in pronunciation.

Favorite MATLAB Demo

My favorite demonstration was the 3D Volume Visualization because I might need to use that feature of MATLAB in a future fluid mechanics class to model wind data; plus, it looked really cool.
