BS
Virginia Tech, Engineering Science and Mechanics, Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering minors (2018)
Biosketch
Daniel received his B.S. in Engineering Science and Mechanics with a concentration in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology from Virginia Tech in 2018. Following his undergraduate studies, he joined the Biosensing and Biorobotics Laboratory where he developed novel technologies and computational strategies for whole-cortex neural sensing in freely behaving transgenic mice. Daniel is now continuing his work as a Research Engineer in the lab, as well as contributing to the Imaging Core and Center for Addiction Research
