Dr. Michael Miller

Biography

Michael Miller is the Bessie Darling Massey Professor and Director of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, where he also co-directs the Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute. He is a biomedical engineer specializing in data science and has pioneered cutting-edge technologies in computational medicine to understand and diagnose neurodegenerative diseases. His research focuses on both the functional and structural characteristics of the human brain in health and disease, investigating conditions such as Huntington’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Miller is developing innovative tools to analyze patient brain scans and has advanced medical imaging technologies that aim to predict the risk of developing neurological disorders years before the onset of clinical symptoms. Through his translational research, he has co-founded four start-up companies in the past decade, co-authoring more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and highly cited textbooks on random point processes in computational anatomy. He has received numerous accolades for his contributions, including the IEEE Biomedical Engineering Thesis Award and the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, among others.
