Gabriel Pedro Paternain is a Uruguayan mathematician. He is currently a professor in geometry and dynamics in DPMMS at the University of Cambridge, and a teaching fellow at Trinity College. He obtained his Licenciatura from Universidad de la Republica in Uruguay in 1987, and his PhD from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1991. He is currently lecturing the Part IA (undergraduate) course entitled Analysis I, and in 2008-09 lectured another IA course on groups. He has gained widespread popularity due to his entertaining and informal lecturing style, which has been recognised by the university in the past for its high calibre.[1] As of 2009, he serves as managing editor of the mathematical journal Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.
In his spare time he partakes in a wide variety of sports, notably football and rowing.
