Claire shares the following as her term begins: "I am delighted to be a Senior Miller Fellow this year. Though I haven't been part of the Miller Institute in the past, as Chair of EECS I had the pleasure of working with the Miller Institute on the Miller Fellows and Visiting Miller Professors in EECS over the past four years. I've already had a bunch of interesting conversations at the Tuesday lunches this summer, and I look forward to these cross-disciplinary discussions as well as the talks from members of the Miller Institute community."
