About Me

I am a prospective Mechanical Engineer at Duke University. Currently I am a freshmen in the class of 2017. I am from Gaithersburg, Maryland and I have a dog named Samurai.


Name Pronunciation

Andrew is a relatively straight forward name to pronounce. My last name is pronounced "Gay-el", exactly the same as the first name "Gail."

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the Loma Prieta Earthquake section. It was very interesting to see the real world applications of MATLAB. Although it is easy to simply plot functions as we have been doing since 6th grade, seeing how MATLAB can actually help see what went on during an earthquake and plot it in a useful way is astonishing. This is an aspect of engineering that can be incredibly useful to scientists who study earthquakes. Data from this could, perhaps, even save lives in the future.
