From his undergraduate years as a Physics student, through his graduate degrees, and now as an associate professor with the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography, he's remained at Memorial.

Ask him why Memorial and he'll tell you it's all about the quality of research. It's also why he believes students continue to choose Memorial.

Dr. Andrews relies on his two current graduate students, both of whom are progressing towards their PhDs. They work closely with Dr. Andrews on projects that further his research into porous silicon.

He feels it's a combination of students and researchers that make this university outstanding.

"I can’t speak for other departments, but the people we’ve attracted in Physics, the quality of the researchers and the scope and depth of their research programs, are comparable to any university in North America, and probably in the World.”
