Julian. F. Miller, BSc (Lond), PhD (City), PGCLTHE (Bham). Dr. Miller’s obtained his first degree in Physics from the University of London in 1980 and obtained his doctorate in Nonlinear Mathematics from the City University in 1988. He worked at Napier University from 1989-1999 and the Natural Computation research group in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham from 1999-2003. He obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education while at Birmingham. He joined the Department of Electronics at the University of York in Oct 2003.

He has chaired fifteen international workshops and conferences in Genetic Programming (GP) and Evolvable Hardware. In 2007, he co-founded the GECCO conference track on generative and developmental systems.

He is a founding associate editor of the Journal of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines and was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation from 2003-2006. He is on the editorial board of the journals: Evolutionary Computation, International Journal of Unconventional Computing and the new journal: Journal of Natural Computing Research. He has publications in genetic programming, evolutionary computation, quantum computing, artificial life, evolvable hardware, computational developmental systems and nonlinear mathematics. Dr Miller is a highly cited author with over 3,000 citations and over 200 publications in related areas. He has given over 40 invited talks.

He is well known as the co-inventor a method of genetic programming called Cartesian Genetic Programming.  His paper published in 2000 is currently one of the most cited research paper in the field of genetic programming. His paper on the application of CGP to the evolutionary design of digital circuits, also published in 2000 is the currently the most cited paper in the journal of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines. He edited the first book on CGP which was published in Sept 2011.

He was awarded the prestigious Evostar award in 2011, for outstanding contributions to the field of evolutionary computation.
