Introducing Myself
Hello everybody, I'm Zhan Wu. I'm from Beijing, China. I'm studying here at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University and I'm still undecided when it comes to my major, but I'm leaning towards Biomedical Engineering. I've lived in Germany for 8 years and the rest of my life (so far) in China, so I'm very fluent with Chinese and German.
How to Pronounce My Name
My name is actually quite easy to pronounce, Zhan is pronounced exactly as "John"(the pronounciation matches that of one of the most popular names in the US). "Wu" pretty much is pronounced like "Woo".

My Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
Along the many MATLAB demonstrations, the one that I liked most was the "Traveling Salesman" demonstration. The demonstration uses a program where the user can select how many cities in the US the salesmen has to travel to complete a circuit that would be of smallest distance. This program was really fascinating and helped me realize the many functions that MATLAB uses to create demonstrations such as this one.
