Biography
John Wilder Miles was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on December 1, 1920. After graduating from high school in Oakland, CA,
Miles entered Cal Tech and went on to receive a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1942, a master's degree in
electrical and aeronautical engineering in 1943, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 1944.
During the World War II, he held brief positions at General Electric, Lockheed Aircraft, and the MIT Radiation Laboratory. His
work at MIT supported research used for radar detection of German U-Boats off the coast of England. In 1945, Miles
accepted a teaching position with the University of California, Los Angeles, in the geophysics and engineering departments
until 1964. During this time, he became a consultant to several aeromechanics companies and institutions including the
United States Air Force, Space Technology Laboratories, and Northrop Aircraft, Incorporated. In 1962, he was a visiting
professor of applied mathematics at the Australian National University, Institute of Advanced Studies.
One of the prominent projects Miles co-investigated was a grant project funded by the National Science Foundation. The
University of California established the primary branches of the laboratory at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary
Physics (IGPP) in Los Angeles and La Jolla in 1960. Miles, along with Walter Munk, George MacDonald, and George Backus,
concentrated on geophysical fluid dynamics in both the ocean and the atmosphere.
In 1964, Miles moved to the newly formed UCSD campus in La Jolla, taking a position as professor of applied mechanics and
geophysics, where he was also chairman of the Academic Senate, 1977-1978. He also became the associate editor of the
JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS in 1964, providing editorial and peer review scholarship. He was appointed vice chancellor
of academic affairs, under Chancellor Richard Atkinson from 1980-1983.
He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was
awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1958-1959, a Fulbrighter lectureship from the University of Australia in 1951, and the
Timoshenko Medal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering in 1982.
In 2003, Miles retired as professor emeritus from UCSD.

B) The Unnumbered Reprints subseries contains both published and unpublished manuscripts and reprints not listed with
the numbered reprints. The titles are arranged alphabetically.
C) The Reports are technical publications authored by Miles beginning with his tenure at University of California, Los
Angeles, through 1964. The reports are project analyses for private contract research Miles conducted for aeromechanics
industries including Ramo-Wooldrige Corporation, Space Technologies Laboratories, and Northrop Aircraft, Inc. They are
arranged by date.
D) The Lectures subseries contains typescripts of lectures dated 1947-1969 and are arranged chronologically.
SERIES 3: RESEARCH
The RESEARCH series is arranged in two subseries: A) Subject Files and B) Grants.
A) The Subject Files, arranged alphabetically, includes source material related to Miles' research. The papers contain
research notes, calculations, and data.
B) The Grants file represent the proposals for the National Science Foundation grant for the Support of Atmospheric
Research Laboratory in Los Angeles and San Diego. Miles participated as a faculty associate at the La Jolla laboratories of
the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, from 1964 to 1969. The materials are arranged chronologically and
contain correspondence and reports.
SERIES 4: UCLA TEACHING MATERIALS
In 1945, Miles was an assistant professor at UCLA in the department of engineering and in the physics department in 1947,
teaching courses in engineering dynamics and fluid mechanics. The papers contain course material for engineering
dynamics and linear systems classes including exams, notes, course outlines, and reports.
SERIES 5: BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS
The BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS series, arranged alphabetically, includes conference materials, Guggenheim fellowship
correspondence, professional dossiers, and a state of California professional engineering certificate.
