Picture
Dan is a master’s graduate student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Additionally, he is pursuing a concurrent degree in neurobiology. He joined the Parent Lab in January 2022 to pursue his interests in neural genetics, neural development, and 3D cell culture methods. His goal is to assist senior researchers preform functional analysis of 3D cultured cells which recapitulate childhood epilepsy and neurodevelopmental defects.
Most recently, Dan worked in the lab of Jill Becker and assisted in building a data pipeline for the acquisition of precise dopamine dynamics in freely behaving rodents. Before pursuing his curiosity of neuroscience, Dan obtained a B.S. in electrical engineering from U of M in 2015. He then worked for Northrop Grumman in Washington DC for three years as part of a multidisciplinary effort to develop the Aegis Combat System for the US Navy. He dabbled in the automotive industry briefly before returning to school.
When Dan is not in the lab or in class - he loves reading, lifting weights, running, venturing into the unknown, and doing other boring things
