About Me
I'm David Colon-Smith (pronouced David Colooan-Smith, or David Cologne-Smith), and I'm from Miami, FL. I aim to do ECE. I attended MAST Academy, and I enjoy playing tennis on occasion.
Grand Challenges of Engineering Article
An article on the BBC about a laser fusion test that scientists hope will help achieve the elusive conditions necessary to initiate fusion.

MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite demonstration was the Traveling Salesman due to the fact that I have seen this problem before, and that I would like to study computer science here at Duke. Being able to actually generate a solution from a set of random ordered cities was interesting seeing as even though there should be one (global) solution, you can arrive at the solution (of the original problem posed years ago) by comparing various sets of "smaller" solutions found through MATLAB.
