I am working at the quantum matter institute under the grand challenge titled 'Atomistic approach to emergent properties of disordered materials'. I am primarily using computational techniques to study high entropy oxides, but I also do some synthesis and structural characterization to better understand the phase stability of these materials. 

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:

I study quantum gravity and string theory, with an eye towards understanding holographic quantum information.

Quantum materials and devices, Ferroelectric materials, and Optoelectronic devices.

Developing an automated data reduction pipeline for observations of pulsars with the CHIME radio telescope.

Genomic and Epigenetic Mechanisms in Speciation with Gene Flow: The Role of Recombination Modifiers in Wild Sunflowers.
