Dr. Dan Gil is a patent agent at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. He focuses on strategic intellectual property counseling for various fields including biomarker discovery, drug discovery, algorithms, and chemical and materials engineering.
Prior to joining the firm, Dan was a postdoctoral researcher at University Chicago, in Professor Juan de Pablo’s group, researching polymer reactions and polymer dynamics using generative artificial intelligence algorithms.
Dan obtained his Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University while studying with Professor Daniel J. Lacks, where he applied computational chemistry (e.g., molecular dynamics and electronic structure calculations) to study the science of contact in various contexts, including contact electrification, ionic liquids at electrochemical interfaces, single-stranded DNA brushes on surfaces, and surfaces of complex liquids.
