Carl A. Miller is a QuICS Co-Director, an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, and a Mathematician in the Computer Security Division at NIST. His research is on developing new cryptography for the quantum era. Topics of interest include position-based cryptography, quantum protocols between mutually mistrustful parties, proofs of quantumness, and classical "post-quantum" cryptography. Miller also studies applications to quantum information of concepts that originated in pure mathematics.
Miller received a Ph. D. in mathematics from Berkeley in 2007, and was a research fellow in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan before joining QuICS.
