Dr. Adjerid’s background is in fluids, materials, and biomechanics. He has an interest in biomedical device design, bioinspiration, and biomimetics centering around fluid control and fluid flow characterization. In his most recent work, Dr. Adjerid is investigating the role of sensory stimulation on the control of swallowing in preterm infants. His work aims to identify and alleviate issues associated with neurological deficits in fragile populations. Previously he studied fluid structure interactions in other natural systems as inspiration for novel biomaterials and devices.
