Grand Challenge: Improving and Restoring Urban Infrastructure

With the NAE grant, I spent the 2023 summer in Singapore researching drone technology.

Hi everyone!

I am Alex, an undergraduate at Duke studying Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in Chinese. Thanks to the NAE program at Duke run by Dr. David Schaad, I have the opportunity to contribute to a grand challenge of engineering of my choice.

This site features how I fulfilled the requirements of a scholar and helped contribute to the solution of my challenge in and outside of the United States.
