Today, we are talking to Phil Parisi, who recently graduated from the University of Rhode Island and now works as a robotics researcher at a coastal research laboratory. He also runs a popular YouTube channel where he often discusses MATLAB coding. When did you first get exposed to MATLAB and Simulink? I first learned MATLAB during the second semester of my freshman year of college in a general engineering course. This came right after learning 3D CAD modeling and, admittedly, it was a jarring switch. MATLAB was introduced as ‘something we needed to know.’ However, my engineering colleagues a ..read more

Getting Started with MATLAB We at MathWorks, in collaboration with DrivenData, are excited to bring you this challenge! The goal is to develop an algorithm that can use provided satellite imagery to predict where kelp is present and where it is not. Kelp is a type of seaweed or algae that often grows in clusters known as kelp forests, which provide shelter and stability for many coastal ecosystems. The presence and growth of kelp is an important measurement for evaluating the health of these ecosystems, so the ability to easily monitor kelp forests could be a huge step forward in coastal clima ..read more
