Roger G. Miller

Roger Miller is a distinguished research staff member of the Materials Joining group specializing in welding engineering. Primary interests are welding metallurgy of stainless steels, nickel alloys and refractory metals. Emphasis on fusion welding processes is primarily focused on Gas Tungsten Arc, Laser and Electron Beam Welding. Previously developed multiple fluxes for activated gas tungsten arc for increased weld penetration on stainless, nickel and cobalt alloys. Experienced in brazing including active brazing, furnace brazing and transient liquid phase brazing. Additionally, welding process development is centered on automated welding processes and adaptive controls. 

Mr. Miller is the program manager for the Radioisotope Power System (RPS) systems special components manufacturing and testing.  This program manufactures and certifies safety items that are used in RPSs for a number of government agencies.  The program also performs testing and generates data for safety analyses.

Prior to his employment with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Roger was employed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Mound Laboratory, US Navy and General Dynamics. Formal education includes B.S. in Welding Engineering from the Ohio State University and M.S. in Materials Engineering from the University of Dayton. Roger is a registered Professional Welding Engineer, International Welding Engineer through the International Institute of Welding and a Certified Welding Inspector through the American Welding Society. He is a local section officer for the Northeast Section of the American Welding Society and serves on multiple AWS code committees.
