Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Miller is a Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer and applied mathematician with 11+ years of experience modeling fluid-structure interactions across scales—from cellular flows to whole organisms and engineered propellers. She combines the immersed boundary method, numerical PDEs, and stochastic modeling with experimental and wearable data to study cardiovascular and respiratory dynamics, animal locomotion, and rider-horse physiological coupling. As a professor and adjunct biomedical engineer she translates research into teaching and multidisciplinary collaboration, and she now applies her biomechanics expertise to optimize propeller designs in industry. Her background spans biology (B.A., M.S.) and a Ph.D. in Mathematics, plus early work in K–12 test development and calculus content that honed her communication skills. Colleagues value her ability to bridge rigorous theory, hands-on computation, and real-world measurement—often revealing physiological mechanisms that are not obvious from data alone.
