Gabriel dos Passos Gomes

Gabe received his B.Sc. in chemistry from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2013. His research at that university focused on computational studies of electrophilic aromatic nitration via single electron transfer. In the fall of 2014, he joined the laboratory of Prof. Igor Alabugin at Florida State University as a Ph.D. student. He was awarded the 2016 IBM Ph.D. Scholarship and 2018 ACS COMP Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award. At that group, he explored the use of stereoelectronic effects to control chemical reactivity. Gabe is interested in solving problems in organic chemistry using computational and theoretical tools.
