About Me

My name is Ashley Curwin and I am from New York City. I have two older sisters and attended the Lycée Francais de New York, a french international school. There, a large percentage of my classes were taught in french, and we took the French Baccalaureat at the end of our junior and senior years. I am currently a student at Duke University, studying in the Pratt School of Engineering. I plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering, but that might change.

Name Pronunciation

My name is pronounced "ASH-lee KER-win". (The phonetic spelling is kind of unnecessary, it is said the way it is spelled)

Courses

For the Fall 2022 semester, I am taking the following courses:

• Chem 101
  
• Math 111
  
• EGR 103
  
• EGR 101

Projects

For my EGR 101 class, I am working with a team of freshmen to design a device that warms IV bottles in Uganda, where the IV bottles are kept too cold and cause hypothermia. I am also currently working on an individual design project for this class; I am designing, printing, and molding an acrylic phone stand.
