Gabriel B. Mindlin is a Professor of physics at the University of Buenos Aires and a scientist whose research focuses on the physical mechanisms underlying the production of songs by songbirds.

His research has produced mathematical and computer models which realistically reproduces songs of several species. He has published three books and over 100 original research papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings which have received over 2400 citations.

Mindlin graduated in physics from University of La Plata (Argentina, 1987) and received a PhD from Drexel University (1991). He was Senior Fellow of Santa Fe Institute (2002–2004) and received an Arthur Taylor Winfree award from the International Center for Theoretical Physics (Trieste, 2004). In addition, he was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2010).

In 2023 he was granted the Konex Award Merit Diploma for his work in Information Sciences and Artificial Intelligence in the last decade. He works as a Full Professor in the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of Buenos Aires University, and is a Senior Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET).
