David W. MILLER

NGT Work Package (WP) 2.1 Co-Coordinator

David Miller is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on answering open questions about the fundamental structure of matter using novel detection techniques, high-speed electronics, and innovative pattern recognition algorithms that implement novel machine learning architectures.

David’s work at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) includes detailed studies of quarks and gluons, searches for new massive particles that decay into Lorentz-boosted top quarks, and construction of a new experiment to search for fractionally electrically charged particles. He has led teams of over 150 scientists in analyzing massive mathematical and computational datasets, producing high-precision validations of experimental and theoretical models. David is also working to discover dark matter in the form of axions using a novel broadband detection technology using both tradition and quantum sensing technologies. On a more personal note, David is a native Chicagoan, having grown up next to Wrigley Field, but lived and worked and raised a young family in Geneva, Switzerland for the better part of 10 years.
