Dr. Miles is trained as a software engineer and physical geographer. His hydrographic research focuses on distributed cloud processing of bathymetric data as well as the development and maintenance of standards-based, machine-readable data formats for the representation and validation of bathymetric datasets.

His past research has focused on ecohydrology modeling in urbanized and forested watersheds; this work included developing tools to support reproducible ingest and transformation geospatial data, as well as model calibration and uncertainty estimation using HPC resources. He has current and prior experience in software engineering, Internet of Things, environmental monitoring, and geospatial data storage and analysis.

As a software engineer, Dr. Miles is focused on translating research codes and algorithms into deployable software artifacts supported by robust documentation, automated testing, continuous integration, observability, fault tolerance, and scalability.
