Biography

Professor Miller is the UCSC Director of the Center for Research in Intelligent Storage and the Associate Director of the Storage Systems Research Center at UC Santa Cruz. His primary research interests are in file and storage systems and, more generally, distributed systems and operating systems. His current projects include archival storage systems, scalable file system indexing, file systems for next-generation storage technologies, file system security, and petabyte-scale storage systems. His research interests also include storage system benchmarks, algorithms to more efficiently manage storage, and information retrieval from very large text and multimedia corpora as well as other problems in computer systems and security.

Research Areas

Archival storage systems, non-hierarchical file systems and metadata management, non-volatile memory and next-generation storage, scalable file systems, reliable and secure storage, distributed systems, information retrieval, computer security.
