Loren Miller

Loren Miller recently established DataMetric Innovations to provide innovative solutions at the intersection of science, engineering, and information technology.

Previously, Mr. Miller worked at The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, where he proposed a unique modeling and simulation strategy, built the mod/sim organization, and led the implementation of modeling and simulation as a competitive advantage in place of slower and more expensive build/test product development. This strategy, its implementation, and its application to product design were awarded R&D Magazine's R&D 100 Award in 2005. Subsequently, he assessed high performance computer requirements for global R&D operations, established metrics and objectives that melded two separate corporate cultures, and established a standardized high performance computing capability in the upper 1 % of U.S. industry. The implementation of that HPC capability won CIO Magazine's Top 100 Award in 2006 and was also judged one of the five most innovative applications of IT that year. He also led the development of a unique, highly accurate polymeric constitutive law that incorporates more physical phenomena than any alternative. This law provides a unique competitive advantage that is being incorporated into the modeling and simulation system.

Mr. Miller initiated the partnership between Goodyear and Sandia National Laboratories. He has served as external review panelist for the U.S. Department of Energy regarding technology transfer and the DOE's first ASCI review, Sandia's Engineering Sciences Research Foundation, and The Ohio Supercomputer Center. Previously, he has spoken on HPC/mod/sim for the Council on Competitiveness, Masterworks at Supercomputing, the U.S. Navy's Ship Design Workshop, the Washington Summit on Computation-Based Engineering, and the Defense Science Board.

Mr. Miller has been awarded three U.S. patents. He received his B.S. in physics from Iowa State University and his M.S. in physics from The University of Akron.
