Dr. Michael Miles is a professor of Manufacturing Engineering, specializing in metals processes, simulation and lean manufacturing. He earned a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering in 1989 from University of Idaho, an M.S. degree in Metallurgical Engineering in 1991 from The Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 1995 from Ecole des Mines de Paris. He worked as a project engineer, engineering manager, and assistant plant manager for American National Can/Pechiney and Rexam from 1995 to 2001. Professor Miles’ teaching interests include welding and joining, casting, metal forming, manufacturing systems, and lean manufacturing. His research efforts focus on novel solid state joining processes, microstructure/formability relationships in sheet metal alloys, and the simulation of forming and joining processes. Professor Miles has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (6), the Department of Energy (3), the Auto/Steel Partnership (2), DARPA (1), NASA (1), South Korea RE-EV Program (1), and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (1), for a total of $2.8 MM.
