McSkimming, Alexander J.

Born in Sydney, Australia, Alex McSkimming obtained his PhD from the University of New South Wales in 2013 under the direction of Steve Colbran, studying metal complexes with tethered organohydride groups. In 2014, McSkimming moved to the United States for postdoctoral work under Hill Harman at the University of California–Riverside, preparing iron dinitrogen complexes inspired by nitrogenase enzymes. Prior to Tulane, McSkimming worked under Dan Suess at MIT, studying the reaction chemistry of synthetic iron-sulfur clusters.

Mohajer, Ali

Ali Mohajer earned his PhD in mathematics from The University of Illinois–Chicago in 2018. Prior to joining the Tulane faculty, he taught mathematics at UIC, at Loyola University New Orleans, and at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth. At UIC, he also supervised and directed student research in the Mathematical Computing Laboratory. He has also worked in community outreach through mathematics education under the auspices of Math Circles of Chicago.

Culotta, Aron

Aron Culotta's research investigates computational methods to learn about human behavior from online social networks, combining machine learning, natural language processing and social network analysis. Examples include tracking diseases, measuring effectiveness of public health campaigns, informing crisis response, preventing online harassment, detecting deceptive marketing and identifying unsafe products.
