Ned Nedialkov

Ned Nedialkov is a Professor in the Department of Computing and Software at McMaster University, within the Faculty of Engineering. He serves as an Undergraduate Advisor for Computer Science and teaches courses such as CAS 708: Scientific Computation (Theory). His research focuses on numerical methods for differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), Taylor series algorithms, multibody dynamics, and automatic differentiation.

His work emphasizes computational techniques for solving complex engineering systems, including structural analysis of DAEs, high-index DAE solving, and energy-based modeling of electrical circuits. He has contributed to software tools like DAESA and DAETS for DAE analysis and simulation. Research interests span mechanical systems simulation, computational mechanics, and algorithm optimization for stiff systems and rigorous defect control.

He has published extensively on topics such as natural coordinates in multibody dynamics, port-Hamiltonian systems, and symbolic-numeric methods. His interdisciplinary approach bridges numerical analysis, computational physics, and engineering applications.
