The Gabrielse research group tested the most precise prediction of the Standard Model of Particle Physics using the most precisely measured property of an elementary particle, tested the Standard Model's most fundamental symmetry to an exquisite precision, made one of the most stringent tests of Supersymmetry and other proposed improvements to the Standard Model, and started low-energy antiproton and antihydrogen physics. His many awards and prizes include fellow of the APS, the Davisson-Germer Prize of the APS, the Humboldt Research Award (Germany, 2005)

Some of his research has focused on conceptual problems in the foundations of so-called interventionist approaches to causation and causal inference in statistics; on distinguishing concepts of causation that treat causation as a species of counterfactual dependence from those that treat it as a relation mediated by spatiotemporally continuous processes; on challenges for popular "Humean" accounts of laws of nature, that see such laws as nothing more than pervasive patterns in the physical phenomena; on clarifying the connection between rational degrees of confidence (or "subjective" probabilities) and the kinds of objective probabilities that figure in fundamentally stochastic physical theories; and on articulating basic presuppositions about the natural world that underwrite the possibility of any kind of scientific investigation of that world.
