Research
My research is focused on the development, analysis, and application of novel numerical methods for solving complex, high-dimensional differential equations. These equations typically arise from multiscale dynamical systems and are essential for simulating physical phenomena such as weather, combustion, and plasmas.

Biography
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.

Biography
Ken McLaughlin grew up in Tucson, Arizona, removing cactus needles from baseballs and soccer balls, and peering through a homemade telescope at the dark skies of the desert. He earned his Bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. in Mathematics From New York University. He has been a faculty member at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, The University of Arizona, the Universidade Federal de Brasília (Brazil), and Colorado State University, before joining Tulane University as the Evelyn and John G. Phillips Distinguished Chair in Mathematics. McLaughlin has served as the Head of the Mathematics Department at the University of Arizona, and as the Chair of the Mathematics Department at Colorado State University. He has held visiting research professorships at international research centers in France, Italy, Brazil, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and the United States. His research is in a field called “integrability”, where he and his friends discover new phenomena in complex systems and provides complete and mathematically precise descriptions of these phenomena, by integrating techniques from across many areas of mathematics.
