Gift Nyikayaramba

Introduction

My name is Gift Nyikayaramba and I am an undergraduate student at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. I intend to major in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Name Pronunciation

My first name is not too difficult to pronounce, just use the standard pronunciation of the word, gift. Although my second name is long it sounds like (NY-i-kar-yar-ambER). I'm sure you will all get it with time.

Interests

Listed below are some of my many interests

  • Nanotechnology
  • The intersection of technology and entrepreneurship
  • Travelling
  • Cultural exchange
  • Basketball
  • Cricket
  • Soccer (especially The English Premier League)

Favourite Matlab Demonstration

My favourite MATLAB demonstration was the 'Viewing a Penny' under graphics because it showed me one of the many ways in which MATLAB can accurately model things we use in daily life.

I look forward to modelling more and more of the things around me using MATLAB where possible.

My favourite


What I hope to achieve using Pundit

  • Engaging in interactive discussions on issues pertaining to engineering and science.
  • Sharing of scientific and engineering articles such as the one below.

Fusion Power: Will It Ever Come? William E. Parkins, Science Magazine, created 10 March 2006, accessed 23 September 2011.

This particular page relates to the Grand Challenges for Engineering. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Future aspirations

As time goes on I hope to greatly augment this user page so that it becomes a receptacle of a interesting and engineering knowledge.
