With the ultimate goal of rescuing species from extinction, Gabe and his collaborators design and engineer new tools to understand, empathize with, and protect vulnerable wildlife.
Gabe earned his bachelor’s degrees with honors in Biology and Chemistry from Caltech, and his master’s degree in Neuroscience from Duke University Medical School researching songbird sensory physiology. He earned his doctorate in Zoology from Oxford University, where his thesis focused on African, Asian, and Australian locust immunity, nutrition, and ecology. Following this, Gabe completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University studying cooperation among species in the Peruvian Amazon and between Australian ants and butterflies. Among other honors, he has received the James B. Duke Fellowship, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, Oxford’s Clarendon Fellowship, Harvard’s Foundational Questions in Evolutionary Biology (FQEB) Prize Fellowship, the Human Frontiers Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Derek Bok Distinction in Teaching Award. In 2016, Dr. Miller was an Associate of the Organismal and Evolutionary Biology Department at Harvard University and a Visiting Scientist at the MIT Media Lab.
