Ph.D., 1988, University of Pennsylvania

Marshall Miller studies electric and hybrid vehicle propulsion systems and how to integrate these systems in vehicles to optimize performance. He is the technical manager of the Hydrogen Bus Technology Validation Program that will operate hydrogen fueled buses in a real transit environment. He also manages the Hybrid Vehicle Propulsion Systems Laboratory where he studies storage battery, ultracapacitor, and fuel cell technology. He develops computer models to simulate the performance of electric and hybrid vehicles using a variety of propulsion systems, using data generated in the lab. Prior to joining the Institute full time, he held a joint appointment with ITS-Davis and the Union of Concerned Scientists where he studied technology and policy implications of fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen fuel infrastructure.
