Karol Miller

Karol Miller is a Winthrop Professor of Applied Mechanics at The University of Western Australia and a Visiting Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. He holds a MSc in aerospace engineering, a PhD in robotics, and a DSc in biomechanics. His research focuses on computational biomechanics, particularly in the biomechanics of the brain and vascular systems, aiming to advance personalized medicine through technology integration.

Key roles: Editor of Modelling in Biology and Medicine, Associate Editor of International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, and former Associate Editor of Annals of Biomedical Engineering.

• Education: MSc (Warsaw), PhD (Warsaw), DSc (Warsaw)

Research interests include patient-specific engineering, finite element analysis, and biomechanical modeling of brain-skull interfaces and abdominal aortic aneurysms. His lab, the Intelligent Systems for Medicine Laboratory (ISML), develops technologies to improve clinical outcomes. Notable projects include real-time brain shift correction in neurosurgery and biomechanics-meets-phenomics studies for AAA disease progression.

Awards: Humboldt Research Award, NVIDIA GPU Computing Champion, UWA Student Guild Choice Award, and multiple teaching recognitions.

Grants: Over 50 projects funded by ARC, NHMRC, NIH, and international agencies. Active projects include real-time neural network-based brain shift correction and computational biophysics integration in 3D Slicer.

Labs/Teams: ISML, collaborations with Harvard Medical School, and leadership in computational biomechanics software development (e.g., SlicerCBM framework).
