This is the page about Elliot Lin, A Duke student who struggled in his first year how to program stuff. I hope that by the end of the first semester, I will be able to program stuff to solve problems like mathematical problems, robots, etc.

Biography

I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in February 15, 1997. I have an older sister. My parents are married.

I am interested in engineering physics.

Laser fusion trio team up to develop clean power, New Scientist Updated September 12, 2011, accessed September 13, 2015

This experiment intrigues me as it induces a violent nuclear reaction through the use of implosion. I think that such a technology has great potential for both awesome power and corruption in the wrong hands. I also think that such technology will still be out of our reach for two decades, as the world still has not been able to make nuclear fusion of any kind efficient enough to be profitable.

Travelling Salesman Problem 2015 Matlab, accessed September 16, 2015

One interesting page was a solution to the traveling salesperson. The problem was relatively simple compared to other optimization problems, as there are different methods of travel, time constraints, and millions of other variables to consider, but the script could easily adapt to such constraints. I think that once quantum computers are commercially feasible, this optimization problem will be used all over the world to create efficient means of travel.
