About:Miller is a research professor and interim director of the EMS Energy Institute. He holds a B.S. and an M.S. in chemical engineering from the University of North Dakota. Since 1981, Miller has been performing energy research and development and program/project management. He began his career at the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center prior to joining Penn State in 1987, where his charge was to develop industrial-based research at the Combustion Laboratory (precursor to the Energy Institute), with a focus on increased assistance to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania companies. Miller has been the principal investigator (PI) of co-PI of more than $66M in sponsored research and the project lead or project manager for more than $5M in research at Penn State.He has managed the engineering, procurement, and construction of pilot- and demonstration-scale facilities, and coordinated multidisciplinary activities for major projects and research consortia. Miller has authored four books and authored/co-authored one edited book, eight book chapters, 155 refereed articles and conference papers, and more than 130 final reports to federal, state, and industrial sponsors.Research Interests:• Stationary power systems (fixed-bed, pulverized, and fluidized-bed) utilizing coal and biomass• Advanced fuels evaluation and characterization • Air emissions characterization and control • Coal and biomass pyrolysis, gasification, and liquefaction • Behavior of inorganic constituents in fuel utilization systems Memberships & Committees:• 4th IEA Clean Coal Centre Workshop on Cofiring Biomass with Coal Workshop Local Organizing Committee (January 2014 – November 2014)• 2013 International Conference on Coal Science & Technology Local Organizing Committee (October 2012 – October 2013) • 12th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization Local Organizing Committee (January 2012 – June 2013) • Pennsylvania Biomass Energy Association (July 2011 – November 2016) • Coal Utilization Research Council; Penn State representative (January 2010 – February 2015) • Pennsylvania’s NMAB (Nutrient Management Advisory Board) Alternative Manure Utilization and Treatment Committee, (January 2006 – January 2011) • Governor’s Renewable Agricultural Energy Council (September 2005 – January 2011) • Clearwater Coal Conference Organizing Committee (December 2003 – present) • Technical Advisory Committee for an Electric Power Research Institute/ Harvard School of Public Health/ U.S. Department of Energy project titled Toxicological Evaluation of Realistic Emissions of Source Aerosols (February 2003 – December 2008) • Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture; Pennsylvania Biomass Working Group, Cofiring Committee (January 2003 – July 2011) • National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada for an Industrial Research Chair in Advanced Coal Cleaning and Combustion Technologies at the University of Alberta (February 2002 – December 2009) • The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi (2014 - 2017) • American Chemical Society – Division of Fuel Chemistry (2002 – present) • American Institute of Chemical Engineers (1983 – present) • Participation in numerous: advisory workshops and seminars; proposal, journal article, and book reviews; and outreach activities Honors & Awards:• 25-Year Service Award — 2012• EMS Energy Institute Distinguished Service Award – 2007 • Honorable Mention for Outstanding Technical Paper at The Fifteenth International Pittsburgh Coal Conference – 1998 • The Energy Institute Outstanding Employee of the Year – 1996 • College of Earth and Mineral Sciences Outstanding Staff Award – 1994 • Certificate of Service Award, Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association – 1992 Teaching:• Guest Lecturer EGEE 101H ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT• Guest Lecturer, EGEE 590, ENERGY AND GEO-ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING COLLOQUIUM • Guest Lecturer, WP 418, CHEMICAL PROCESSING OF WOOD • Guest Lecturer, EPC 590, ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CONTROL COLLOQUIUM Publications:Elsevier: https://pennstate.pure.elsevier.com/en/persons/bruce-g-miller/publications/
