Robin Miles earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from MIT, a M.S. in mechanical engineering from Stanford, and a M.B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley.  Robin started working at LLNL after working at several Silicon Valley start-up companies such as Redwood Microsystems and K2 Optronics where she led micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) based product development teams.  As a Group Leader within the LLNL Microtechnology Center she led teams developing micro-fluidic-based instrumentation for the chemical and biological detection programs supporting Global Security non-proliferation efforts.   Later, Robin supported initiatives within the NIF/PS directorate as a Level 2 lead, leading research and systems engineering activities in high-volume target manufacture and target injection for future ICF fusion power plants.  Subsequently, Robin served as the Director for the HPC4Energy Innovation in GS/E program.   This multi-laboratory program was funded by several DOE Energy Offices and conducted sophisticated modeling and simulation projects between national laboratory principal investigators and industrial partners to reduce industrial energy usage in the US.  Approximately 150 projects were funded during her tenure in the program with participation from 11 national laboratories.  Robin is currently the Division Leader (acting) of the National Security Engineering Division having previously serving as the Deputy Division leader concurrently with her other institutional roles.  She is the author of over 20 patents and several publications.
