Andrew Gayle
Andrew John Broaddus Gayle[1] (ˈandro͞o jän brôdəs ɡāl; born July 22, 1995) is a materials science researcher best known for his work related to using instrumented indentation for material property testing. Previously a 2015 and 2016 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (SURF) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),[2] Gayle is an incoming student at the University of Michigan, where he will pursue a Ph.D.
Early Life[edit]
Andrew "Coconut" John Broaddus Gayle was born on July 22, 1995 to Frank Wentzel Gayle and Debra L. Kaiser. Both of his parents are directors at NIST, [3] [4] a fact which Gayle has said has contributed to his interest in science.[5] Driven by this interest, Gayle began interning at NIST in the summer of 2010, and he has returned each summer since. When not attending school, Andrew resides in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Education[edit]
In 2013, Andrew Gayle graduated from Poolesville High School.[6] He then attended Duke University, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, graduating Summa Cum Laude in the class of 2017.[7] While and undergraduate, he conducted research under Dr. F. Hadley Cox and Dr. Nico Hotz related to materials science. He was also awarded the Raymond C. Gaugler Award in Materials Science and Engineering, an accolade that recognizes "the senior who has made the most progress at Duke in developing competence in materials science or materials engineering." [8] Gayle will be commencing study at the University of Michigan in the fall of 2017 as he pursues a Ph.D. in the subject.
Research[edit]
As part of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow (SURF) program at NIST, Gayle conducted research under Dr. Robert Cooks. The resulting paper, "Mapping viscoelastic and plastic properties of polymers and polymer-nanotube composites using instrumented indentation," was chosen as the 2016 Journal of Materials Research Paper of the Year.[9]
