Theoretical modelling and numerical computation for the spinning of hydrogels.

Temperature modulation of host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics

I am broadly interested in developing safe and generalizable multimodal intelligence through algorithms that learn effectively with minimal human supervision. Currently, working on multimodal AI across video, image, audio, and language, with the goal of advancing multimodal understanding, generation, and reasoning.
 

Development of vectoring and fertility tools for alkalic porphyry deposits in British Columbia.

Time and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy of quantum materials

I am working in partnership with the Hakai Institute on the Sentinels of Change Alliance project, monitoring biodiversity in the Salish Sea. I focus primarily on seaweed ecology and biodiversity, in particular the impacts of climate-related stressors on the seasonality, successional dynamics and environmental tolerances of NE Pacific seaweeds.

My research interests span OSes, compartmentalization, and more generally systems, security, virtualization, networking, and free-software.
As part of my postdoc, I am exploring various themes around isolation, compartmentalization, and secure software development practices.

 Dr. Gabriel Bertolini is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of British Columbia. He completed his Ph.D. in Geosciences from the University of Aberdeen and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in 2020, with a research focus on sand generation and dispersal in ancient sedimentary systems. Dr. Bertolini specializes in utilizing geochemical, geochronological, and petrology tools in detrital minerals, employing multivariate statistics to investigate sedimentary processes. Prior to his current role, Dr.

My research at UBC has two overarching objectives. The first is to assess the resilience of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) globally to groundwater storage dynamics across land use and socioeconomic contexts. The second is to use resilience-based insights to refine global mapping of GDE location, type, and function.
These objectives are linked by an underlying goal of conducting interdisciplinary, applied science to improve integrated groundwater management across land and water systems. Specific objectives include:
