Biography

Owen Miller specializes in the design and optimization of wave systems at micro and nanoscale dimensions. His research employs computational theory to expand the open design space in fields such as photonics, elastodynamics, and general wave systems. His group focuses on efficiently exploring high-dimensional spaces through large-scale computational optimization and developing analytical techniques to model new phenomena. His work aims to discover fundamental response limits and apply these techniques to various application areas, including photovoltaics, near-field optics, nanoparticle scatterers, and thermal radiation, with the goal of designing devices that approach performance limits.
