Daniel Gonzales received a PhD in Applied Physics from Rice University. He is collaborating with co-advisors, Dr. Krishna Jayant, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Dr. Scott Pluta, Assistant Professor of Biological Science, to develop a flexible nanoelectrode net to investigate sub-cellular integration at the cortical surface. His research focuses on bridging the gap between engineering and neuroscience through the development of brain-machine interfaces for capturing neurophysiology across scales. Dr. Gonzales was also selected into the Hanna Gray Fellowship of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which allows him to continue his postdoctoral research at Purdue Engineering.
