Senior Spotlight 🎓: Gabriel Peery

Gabriel is a Summit and Pathway Oregon scholar in the Clark Honors College from Klamath Falls, OR, majoring in math and computer science (CS) with a minor in physics.

On campus, he was a part of the cybersecurity club, philosophy club, and Oregon ballroom dance club. With Professor Thanh Nguyen as his advisor, Gabriel conducted research that explored the security of machine learning and presented it at the Undergraduate Research Symposium. He also worked as a learning assistant for different CS classes and helped students understand class content. On top of all of his campus involvement, Gabriel also represented UO in 2020 at the Putnam Mathematical Competition.

"One Friday afternoon last spring, I was invited by one of my roommates to attend Ballroom Dance Club," Gabriel said. "After one dance, I met a philosophy student and talked with him about epistemology and the nature of things until the event was over and we all helped take down decorations. I was given a ride back home by others so that I could avoid the cold and rainy walk. Once I arrived home, I was greeted by the smell of dinner being cooked by a different roommate. The warmth and hospitality I experienced that night was typical of the encounters I have had throughout my time at UO which has made me feel right at home."

After graduation, Gabriel will be entering UT Austin's Computational Science, Engineering, and Math PhD program.
