Summary
Clayton Miller is an Associate Professor of Urban Informatics and leader of the Building and Urban Data Science (BUDS) Research Group, with 15 years of experience applying data-driven methods to improve building and city energy efficiency, comfort, safety, and well-being. He combines academic leadership at Singapore Management University and the SMU Urban Institute with hands-on entrepreneurship as co-founder and scientific advisor of a spin-off focused on indoor environmental and spatial optimization. Trained at ETH Zürich and NUS, Clayton brings deep expertise in building technology, monitored-performance analytics, and scalable urban data science, informed by large-scale building studies and industry partnerships. He has repeatedly bridged research and practice—spinning out companies, advising R&D, and leading engagement roles—so his work frequently moves from prototype to real-world deployment. An understated strength is his ability to translate complex simulation and sensor analytics into actionable strategies for operators and policymakers.
