Russ Miller maintains appointments as Distinguished Professor of
Computer Science and Engineering
at SUNY-Buffalo,
senior scientist at the
Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute,
and adjunct professor in the departments of Structural Biology and
Electrical Engineering
at SUNY-Buffalo.
Miller's scientific publications number approximately 200, including scientific peer-reviewed papers, chapters, and abstracts of presentations at national or international conferences.
Dr. Miller founded the Center for
Computational Research (CCR) at
SUNY-Buffalo,
where he served as Director from 1998-2006. During his tenure, CCR was
continuously ranked as one of the leading supercomputing centers worldwide,
supporting nearly 25TF of computing, 300TB of data storage, and a wide variety
of high-end visualization devices. On an annual basis, CCR typically
supported 140 projects covering nearly 40 academic departments.
CCR also supported projects from a variety of local and national colleges,
universities, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and the private
sector.
Including peer-reviewed funds, contracts, appropriations, and
funds that CCR enabled during his tenure as Director, Dr. Miller was
instrumental in bringing nearly $0.5 Billion to Western New York.
In the Fall of 2006, Dr. Miller accepted a position on the founding
Governing Board of a
cyberinfrastructure initiative
in New York State, also agreeing to serve as its Founding Executive Director.
This complemented Miller's
Cyberinfrastructure Lab,
which has been responsible for the establishment of the ACDC-Grid, WNY Grid,
NYS Grid, as well as middleware in areas that include monitoring, scheduling,
and portal development, to name a few. Note that the New York State
Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (NYSGrid.org) was established based on Miller's
NYS Grid.
Dr. Miller is a co-developer of the
Shake-and-Bake method of molecular structure determination,
which was included on the
poster
"The Top Ten Algorithms of the Century,"
published in Computing in Science & Engineering, produced in cooperation
with the IEEE and The Computer Museum History Center.
Prof. Miller's research interests include
cyberinfrastructure,
parallel algorithms,
image analysis, and
computational crystallography.
Russ Miller currently has two books in print covering parallel algorithms.
The first book, joint with Quentin F. Stout, is a graduate level book entitled
Parallel Algorithms for Regular Architectures,
published by The MIT Press. The second
book, joint with Larry Boxer, is an undergraduate text focusing on presenting a unified approach to algorithms involving both sequential and parallel solution
strategies. This new book,
Algorithms Sequential and Parallel, A Unified Approach,
Second Edition, is published by Charles River Media.
