Matthew Miller PhD
Bio
I conduct research related to clouds and precipitation. I specialize in mining large remote sensing datasets (100s of TB) to distill new insights impacting weather and climate. I have particularly extensive experience with satellite as well as surface and airborne radar and multi-spectral passive microwave data. I have specialized experience in a variety of skills used in analysis of geospatial remote sensing data including image segmentation, computer vision, self-organizing maps, time series analysis, spectral analysis, feature tracking, and machine learning.
My major campaign field research experience includes serving as a Mission and Aircraft Scientist for the NASA IMPACTS project studying winter storms impacting the northeast US. I have also served radar scientist aboard the Ronald H. Brown during the 2008 VOCALS campaign to study marine stratocumulus in the southeast Pacific. I have also supported a variety of small field projects which has included serving as instrument mentors for Micro Rain Radar, a Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera, disdrometers, high-frequency pressure sensors, and other remote and in situ instrumentation.
