Rob Miller

About

Professor Miller’s research is aimed at reducing the emissions of both air travel and land based power production. He has worked extensively with industry, presently undertaking research in collaboration with Rolls Royce, Mitsubishi, Siemens, Alstom and Dyson. Over the next 20 years improved compression systems will play a critical role in achieving a reduction in greenhouse emissions from gas turbines. By developing ultra-low pressure ratio fans, the propulsive efficiency can be raised, while by increasing the compressor pressure ratio and the efficiency, the core efficiency can be raised. The Whittle Laboratory, in collaboration with Rolls Royce and the UK Aerospace Technology Institute, is currently working on a range of technologies designed to underpin this future generation of compression systems.
