Scott Miller

Scott Miller is a Lecturer in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on physical layer security, wireless communication systems, and signal processing in harsh environments. He specializes in visible light communication (VLC), acoustic telemetry, and hybrid FSO-mmWave systems. Key contributions include secure IM-OFDMA system design, IQ imbalance analysis, and medium-specific communication protocols for downhole monitoring.

Research interests span secure communication protocols, network coding, cognitive radio networks, and system reliability in fading channels. He has pioneered work on VLC-based downhole gas pipeline monitoring using hydrogen/nitrogen mediums and developed learning-based link selection approaches for hybrid wireless systems. His work emphasizes practical applications in industrial telemetry and secure wireless transmission.

Notable trends in his publications include:

• Advancements in physical layer security mechanisms for uplink systems
• Innovative use of non-traditional mediums (e.g., CO₂, hydrogen) for VLC
• Integration of machine learning for signal detection and link optimization
• Robustness analysis of hybrid FSO-mmWave networks under various impairments

His research bridges theoretical communication frameworks with real-world industrial applications, addressing challenges in energy, oil/gas sectors, and secure IoT deployments.
