Miura received his BS (1960) and MS (1962) degrees from University of California, Berkeley. He earned his MA (1964) and PhD (1966) from Princeton University.
Miura spent 26 years at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, as a professor of mathematics. He joined NJIT in 2001.
Miura’s current research interests focus on developing mathematical models in neuroscience for cell dynamics. He works with biologists to help them understand how and why a type of depressed brain activity induced in animals spreads as a slow, pathological wave.
