David W. Miller is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on fundamental questions about the structure of matter, specifically studying quarks and gluons, which are the particles that make up everyday protons and neutrons. Using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, Miller conducts measurements with the ATLAS Detector to search for previously unseen particles and to characterize the forces acting on these particles with greater precision. His work has been integral to the recent discovery of Higgs bosons and searching for new massive particles and the elusive quark-gluon plasma observed in lead-ion collisions. Additionally, he has been deeply involved in the construction and operation of the ATLAS detector, including upgrades to the calorimeter and tracking systems that allow for detailed measurements. Miller has collaborated extensively with colleagues at Argonne National Laboratory, CERN, and other institutions, tackling significant challenges in high-energy particle physics. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 2011 and a BA in Physics from the University of Chicago in 2005. He was a McCormick Fellow at the Enrico Fermi Institute from 2011 to 2013.
