<p>Laura Miller is a Professor of Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Arizona. With nearly 30 years of experience in systems biomechanics, she employs experimental, computational, and theoretical methods to study organismal movement. Her research encompasses a variety of organisms, including insects, corals, and jellyfish. Notably, she has investigated the aerodynamics of insect flight, the fluid dynamics of jellyfish propulsion, and the flow patterns around corals. Her work has been recognized with the Burroughs Wellcome Career Award at the Scientific Interface and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. <p>Beyond academia, Laura has been involved with horses since the age of 8, focusing on classical dressage, horse care, and equine facility management. She recently initiated an integrative research project on equine movement and respiration at the UA Al Marah Equine Center.
