About Me

I am a first year student at Duke University. I plan on double majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science, while also getting a certificate in Innovations and Entrepreneurship (I&E).

Name Pronunciation

"Ryan Suggs" is pronounced how you think it would be (RyAn Suhgz). The only mispronunciation I've heard of my name is that some people want to say the beginning of "Suggs" like "Sugar", which is incorrect. If you know the Raven's football player Tyrell Suggs, my last name is pronounced the same (sadly there is no relation between us).

Current Courses

My courses for the Fall semester are:

   Philosophy 101
   EGR 103
   Chemistry 101
   Statistics 130

Interest

My interest include:

   Playing Golf
   Snowboarding
   Watching Netflix

Favorite Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was Viewing a Penny demonstration. I liked this one a lot because I am always interested in how computers view real world 3D objects. It was also very cool to look at the code of penny.m, and how it was using things such as "surf", "shading", and "view" to graph the coin.
