It’s been a year of impactful research and discoveries for Gabriel Porteiro, a computer science major from Brazil.
Porteiro, who anticipates a May 2026 graduation, has been reaping the benefits of having received the Generation Google Scholarship for the 2024-2025 academic year. He was one of just 50 students selected from 2,500 applicants for the prestigious award.
“The financial support of this scholarship allowed me to completely focus on my academic career for a full year,” Porteiro said. “I have enjoyed my time doing research at Tennessee Tech, and it opened my eyes to different paths, including my plans to move forward to graduate school to study the intersection of finance and computer science.”
