Research Interests

Miller’s current research interests focus primarily on the experimental study of physics within the Standard Model, as well as various aspects of software, computing and pattern recognition. Currently, he works on precision QCD studies in high–energy collisions of polarized protons with Bernd Surrow, as well as neutrino physics in collaboration with Joe Formaggio. Miller eagerly awaits the turn–on of the Large Hadron Collider in 2008.

Biographical Sketch

In 1998, Michael earned dual degrees (B.S. physics, B.A. philosophy) at Michigan State University. He earned a Ph.D. from Yale University in 2004, where he studied nuclear and particle physics under the supervision of John W. Harris. After graduation he volunteered in a mountain village in Nepal for three months and then worked as a postdoctoral associate at MIT before beginning his Pappalardo fellowship in the fall of 2005.
