About Me
I am a freshman student at Duke University and plan on studying Biomedical Engineering, possibly with a double major in Computer Science. I went to Wilson Hall High School in Sumter, South Carolina.
Name Pronunciation
My name (Tripp Whaley) is pronounced as "TRIP WHALE-ee," like a trip, and a whale followed by the letter 'y.'
Interests
I am a fan of video games such as League of Legends and Outlast. I also love sports, especially American football and hockey. My academic interests include biology, chemistry, computers, technology and engineering.
Grand Challenge

MATLAB Demonstration
I really enjoyed the "Viewing a Penny" demonstration because it gave a quick and easy to follow example of a graphing process that gets results. It combines 2D and 3D viewing as well as changing the aspects of the graph itself, so I felt like I was learning how to create graphs while already knowing what the outcome should look like. This gave context to the assignment and made it seem relevant and "cool."
