Biography

Miller received his B.S. degree from the Pennsylvania State University in 1964, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Colorado School of Mines in 1966 and 1969 respectively. He joined the faculty at the University of Utah in 1968, became a full professor in 1978, a distinguished professor in 2008 and served as chair of the Department of Metallurgical Engineering from 2002-2013. In 1993 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.[2] He holds more than 30 patents on methods for processing oil sands, resin recovery from Utah coal, and air-sparged hydrocyclone technology, and has received many professional society awards from the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers and The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.[3] In 2003 he was recognized by Gdansk University of Technology with the Medal za Zasługi dla PG for special meritorious contributions for the University, and received an honorary doctorate in 2010. He was also recognized by SME by a special symposium and proceedings in his honor at the 2005 Annual Meeting.[4]
