In January 2022, Gabe started his independent career at Carnegie Mellon University, jointly appointed at the Department of Chemistry and Department of Chemical Engineering. The Gomes Group @ CMU research program is the interface between machine learning, computational and physical organic chemistry, and automated synthesis, with aims to develop new platforms for reaction discovery with emphasis on catalysis. Gabe’s goal is to establish a program focused on the development of new chemical reactions, pioneering research and training the next generation of chemists and chemical engineers. In 2019, Gabe joined the University of Toronto and the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Matter Lab, led by Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik. In 2020, Gabe was awarded the NSERC Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship with the project “Designing Catalysts with Artificial Intelligence” and has been featured on the “Next Great Impossible” series by Merck/Milipore-Sigma. Gabe earned his PhD in Fall 2018 from Florida State University, under the guidance of Professor Igor V. Alabugin. At FSU, Gabe's research was centered on the relationship between molecular structure and reactivity, focusing on the development and applications of stereoelectronic effects. His work at FSU earned many accolades, including an IBM PhD Scholarship, the ACS COMP Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award and his selection as a CAS SciFinder Future Leader.
