Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Zalles is a software engineer and Ph.D. candidate in Computer Music at UC San Diego who specializes in spatial audio, ambisonics, and building interactive spatial instruments. With 11 years of hands-on experience across MATLAB, JUCE (C++), Unity (C#), Pure Data, and Max/MSP, he blends signal processing software development with hardware prototyping using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, 3D printing, laser cutting, and PCB design. His NYU master's project designing a first-order ambisonic microphone with MEMS capsules demonstrates a practical curiosity for how physical sensor arrangements affect recording techniques. Gabriel teaches multidisciplinary students how to merge art and technology, translating research into playable instruments and course material. Based in La Jolla, he pairs rigorous academic research with tinkering instincts and a musician’s sensibility—he plays guitar and competes on the tennis court when not coding.
