Barton Miller is the Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Chief Scientist for the DHS Software Assurance Marketplace research facility, and Software Assurance Lead on the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. In addition, he co-directs the MIST software vulnerability assessment project in collaboration with his colleagues at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He leads the Paradyn Tool project, which is investigating binary code analysis and instrumentation technologies. His research interests include systems security, binary and malicious code analysis and instrumentation extreme scale systems, and parallel program measurement and debugging.

Miller founded the field of Fuzz random software testing, which is the foundation of many security and software engineering disciplines, and, working with his then-student, Jeffrey Hollingsworth, founded the field of dynamic binary code instrumentation and coined the term "dynamic instrumentation". Dynamic instrumentation forms the basis for his current efforts in malware analysis and instrumentation.
