Khaled Adjerid

Khaled Adjerid is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University's School of Science & Engineering. His work bridges biomedical device design, fluid-structure interactions, and bioinspired systems, with applications in neonatal dysphagia and human factors in vehicle dynamics.

• Education: B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech; NIH Post-doctoral Fellowship at Northeast Ohio Medical University

Research focuses on:

• Biomedical device design for fragile populations
• Bioinspired micro/nano-fluidics and materials
• Fluid-structure vibration analysis in natural systems
• Sensory stimulation interventions for preterm infants

Scientific awards include:

• Dysphagia Research Society Best Poster (2021)
• Buchsbaum Imaging Award (2019)
• Multiple Virginia Tech fellowships and scholarships

Dr. Adjerid advises student researchers at Tulane's Center for Design, Entrepreneurship, and Translation (TU C-DET), including recent graduates Bolden Charles, Kali Dancisak, and Erika Kudryk.
