Gabriel obtained his licentiate degree (roughly, BS+MS) in Physics from the National University of Córdoba (Argentina) and his PhD from Purdue University (USA). He has also had postdoctoral appointments at Northwestern University (USA) and ICTP/SISSA (Italy). Currently he holds a permanent position as CONICET researcher at INIFTA (La Plata, Argentina). Gabriel’s main research interests focus on the molecular modeling of soft materials, particularly stimuli responsive gels.
