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 has published in the areas of parallel algorithms,
parallel architectures, grid computing, and molecular structure determination.
In addition, Dr. Miller has co-authored two textbooks covering parallel and
sequential algorithms.
Prof. Miller serves on numerous conference program committees, does extensive
reviewing for journals and funding agencies, including the NSF supercomputing
initiatives, and serves as a member of the editorial board of
Parallel Processing Letters.
Prof. Miller's current research focuses on
cyberinfrastructure, which was responsible for the creation of
the New York State Grid (NYS Grid), and
the Shake-and-Bake
method of molecular structure determination, which was listed on the IEEE poster
"Top 10 Algorithms of the 20th Century." Funding for these efforts
have been provided by NSF, NIH, NYS, and federal appropriations led by
Congressman Reynolds, Senator Clinton, and Senator Schumer.
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 personal peer reviewed funding,
appropriations, contracts, and additional funds that CCR enabled during
his tenure as Director, Dr. Miller has helped bring in
approximately $0.5 billion dollars to Western New York.
In fact, Miller was instrumental in the establishment of
the $290M New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics.
In fact, in establishing the Center of Excellence in January of 2001,
New York State Gov. George E. Pataki stated that
"This Center [of Excellence in Bioinformatics] will, through the
University of Buffalo's Center for Computational Research, create
academic and industrial partnerships...."
