Research and Scholarship

Every piece of music fascinates Gabriel. From an academic standpoint, that took root early. When COVID hit, Gabriel was a junior in high school. He immediately began working with SUPERBANDS, a Philadelphia-based non-profit using music against suicide. From there, he started at NYU, where he designed a degree in Binaural Psychophysics and Sonic Ethnography. As an MLK Scholar, he spent summers working at Harvard Medical School, the University of Bergen (Norway), and Trinity College, Dublin, where he sought to understand sound and music's impact on the brain. He simultaneously earned a M.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia.
