Profile

Daniel joined the O’Halloran Lab in May 2023 as an eddy covariance flux tower technician working on the Climate-Smart Commodities Project. He received his Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with a Minor in Bioengineering from the University of Dayton in 2022. Prior to this position, he helped develop biofabrication technologies for investigating biological processes at a microscale. Through this work, he developed a strong interest in microbiota and their role in biogeochemical cycling. As a tower technician on the Climate-Smart Project, he is eager to investigate biosphere-atmosphere exchange as a biogeochemical process, with a particular focus on greenhouse gas fluxes following various management techniques used in stand-scale forests. He hopes this project may reveal the economic and ecological benefits of applying more sustainable and resilient management strategies. Following this opportunity, he aspires to use eddy covariance to further investigate biogeochemical cycling in coastal ecosystems.

Research Interests
