Vice President of Research and Economic Development, Terry Yates has appointed Warren F. Miller to serve as the associate vice president of Laboratory Affairs. “Pete Miller brings his long background of management within the Los Alamos National Laboratory to UNM to assist in a number of complex activities now in progress at the university,” said Yates. “His experience will allow UNM to work more closely with the national laboratories and other universities in a variety of cooperative efforts.”
Miller is currently a private management and technical consultant. He retired from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2001, and has previously served as a member of the Board of Visitors at the UNM School of Engineering. His long management history at LANL included positions as a senior advisor to the laboratory director, deputy laboratory director for science and technology, director of the science and technology base programs, and associate laboratory director for research and education.
He currently serves as the vice chair of the Committee of the Division on Earth and Life Studies for the National Research Council, member of the Nuclear Energy Research Advisory Council of the U.S. Department of Energy, and Member of the Nuclear Technology Advisory Committee at LANL.
UNM is the lead member of a consortium of New Mexico universities including New Mexico State University and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology that have teamed with the University of California to form an Institute for Advanced Studies. The institute will be established contingent on UC winning the contract to continue to operate LANL.
UNM is also the lead team member for the space nuclear power portion of the educational component of the Battelle Energy Alliance. That group operates the Idaho National Laboratory.
