About Me

I am a freshman at Duke University in Pratt that is planning on majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I went to Vernon Hills High School, which is approximately 50 minutes north of Chicago, Illinois.

Name Pronunciation

My last name is Thai, but the pronunciation is not at all like how it's spelled. My first name is pretty simple, Mi-KAY-la, and my last name is pronounced Khun-WAH-rah-non in which the khun is like the second syllable of cocoon.

MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite demonstration on MATLAB is the 2D and 3D Plots in the graphics section. The power of MATLAB to plot the points and make regression lines with such ease in comparison to doing them by hand makes it so interesting.
