After receiving his Ph.D. in the summer of 1994, Dr. Miller joined the faculty at OU and has been here ever since, primarily conducting research and teaching related to geotechnical engineering. Prior to that he worked for consulting geotechnical engineering firms for a few years after receiving his M.S. and before going on for a Ph.D. He is a licensed professional engineer in Oklahoma and has remained engaged in geotechnical engineering consulting throughout his career.
Dr. Miller’s research has focused on laboratory and in situ testing of unsaturated soils, chemical stabilization of soil, compacted soil behavior, bridge abutment geotechnics, soil-structure interaction, and infrastructure resilience.
