Daniel Berry

Daniel Berry is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota. His research focuses on how children’s experiences shape self-regulation skills, including impulse control, attention management, and information processing, with applications to vulnerable populations and high-risk contexts.

• EdD, 2010, Harvard University

His work integrates developmental neuroscience, hormones and behavior, and quantitative methods for longitudinal data. Key themes include:

• Neurophysiological mechanisms of self-regulation
• Impact of caregiving environments on development
• Statistical modeling of complex longitudinal data

Recent publications highlight trends in autonomic nervous system dynamics, cross-system regulation, and causal inference in developmental contexts. He is open to advising new PhD students in fall 2026.

Dr. Berry leads the Bioecology, Self-Regulation and Learning Lab, which employs experimental and longitudinal approaches to study mind-brain-environment interactions. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the text.
