Dr. Craig Miller received his B.E. and M.E, both in Mechanical Engineering, from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, before receiving a Ph.D in Engineering Science from Western University in 1996. Between 1988 and 1990 he was employed as a Research Assistant by what is now the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. He also worked as a Research Fellow at the Building Research Establishment in England. In 1997 Dr. Miller joined Risk Management Solutions, in their London, England, office. During his time there he was primarily responsible for the development of surface wind field models for the modelling of risk due to both tropical and extra-tropical cyclones. This included the characterization of the effects of changes in the surface roughness and wind speed averaging times, as well as the effects of topography on surface wind speeds, both modelled and observed. Dr. Miller was also involved in post storm damage surveys following Hurricane Georges in Puerto Rico in 1998, and wind storm Anatol in Denmark in 1999.

He returned to Western University in 2003 to take up a joint position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a Project Manager at the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory.
