Posted by Dylan | Under NSF Fellows Tuesday Sep 16, 2008
John Gamble, a 2008 graduate of Wooster College, and a recipient of the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship, plans to use his grant to study physics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Gamble was a physics and mathematics double major at Wooster College in Ohio, where he had a 3.97 GPA, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa after his junior year. He edited and directed making a video, “Theoretical Football”, which won the People’s Choice Award at the American Physical Society’s Nanobowl Video Contest
His impressive academic record and his commitment to the Physics Club’s outreach program, which brings physics demonstrations to elementary schools, were significant factors in his selection for the fellowship, according to an article on Wooster’s website.
Like his father, he plans to be a college professor after completing his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, as he is self-described as an “academic,” who “Loves to tackle interesting problems just for the sake of knowledge, and would really enjoy teaching at the college level.”
