John Joseph Siman (/dʒɑn dʒosəf siman; September 22, 1995 - ∞), more commonly known as "Jack", is a current undergraduate engineer at Duke University.

Early Life

Some say he was born on top of Mount Everest, others say at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, but if one thing is for certain is that he loves pizza and mac and cheese.

Accomplishments

He has successfully traveled back in time to facilitate the formation of the Beatles and has also gone to the future to stop an alien invasion of Earth. However, he is best known for napping around 2:00 pm every Monday and Friday.

MATLAB Demonstration

Earth's Topography

- This was my favorite demonstration because I thought it was amazing how you could take confusing geographic data and then show it in a way that anyone could understand with such simple code. I am very much a visual type of person so this demonstration with the colors and spherical globe really caught my attention. This really shows the power of MATLAB and I am excited to get to use it and have fun making cool graphics and plots with it.

Engineering Students Use Trash To Build Houses In Haiti, Network Indiana, created 9 August 2014, accessed 31 August 2014 (Grand Challenge)

- I found this interesting because it has applications that reach well beyond Haiti as waste is a global issue and anything that helps to turn trash into something useful has a lot of potential.
