Dan joined the Functional Nanoscale Heterostructures Group in the Materials Science Division in April 2022. He studies nonequilibrium states in materials stimulated by optical and electrical pulses and their applications in electronics. He is a specialist in electron microscopy and develops ultrafast and in-operando TEM capabilities for imaging material dynamics across length and time scales. He is also organizing programming for Argonne’s Microelectronics Initiative and at the Microscopy and Microanalysis conference.

He was previously a Berkeley Fellow at UC Berkeley where he completed his PhD in Prof. Andrew Minor’s research group. There, he worked with the High Repetition-rate Electron Scattering (HiRES) team to commission a new ultrafast electron diffraction system at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
