Thomas Andrews FRS (9 December 1813 26 November 1885) was a chemist and physicist who did important work on phase transitions between gases and liquids. Andrews was born in Belfast, Ireland where his father was a linen merchant. He attended the Belfast Academy and the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. In 1828 he went to the University of Glasgow to study chemistry under Professor Thomas Thomson, then studied at Trinity College, Dublin, where he gained distinction in classics as well as in science. Finally, at University of Edinburgh in 1835 he was awarded a doctorate in medicine. Andrews began a successful medical practice in his native Belfast in 1835, also giving instruction in chemistry at the Academical Institution. In 1845 he was appointed vice-president of the newly established Queen''s University of Belfast, and professor of chemistry there. He held these two offices until his retirement in 1879 at age 66.
