Postdoctoral Scholars

Daniel Gonzales, PhD

Daniel received his PhD in Applied Physics from Rice University in 2019 where during his PhD as a NSF GRFP awardee he researched nanofabricated structures for assaying neurophysiology. He joined Purdue for Postdoctoral training in June 2019. His present research focuses on using nanoelectrodes, electrophysiology, and imaging for mapping sub-cellular activity from the surface of the brain. He was awarded a Lillian Gilbreth Fellowship, a HHMI Hanna Gray Fellowship and more recently a Burroughs Postdoctoral enrichment award for his work.
