Thomas James Miller is a British fisheries ecologist. His professional career has been dedicated to fisheries science, management of Chesapeake Bay species (particularly blue crab, menhaden, striped bass, oyster), Population modeling, and Education. Miller is the fifth director of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, the oldest state-supported marine laboratory on the east coast of the U.S. It is part of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES).

Early Life
Miller was born in London, England. He attended Dartford Grammar School, from which he graduated in 1978. He went on to study Human and Environmental Biology at University of York where he graduated with Honours in 1981. He received his Masters of Science and Doctorate at North Carolina State University.

Awards
In 2015, Miller was recognized with a Paper of the Year Award from the American Fisheries Society. That same year, he received the Regents Faculty Award of Excellence from the University System of Maryland Board of Regents. The Regents Faculty Award "recognize(s) exemplary faculty achievement," for Miller, within the realm of Public Service. In 2014, Miller received the GEMSTONES Outstanding Mentor Award from the GEMSTONES Honors Program at the University of Maryland. . The GEMSTONES Honors Program is "a unique multidisciplinary four-year research program for selected undergraduate honors students of all majors." Thomas Miller supported Team Savior on their project, Snakehead Analysis via Investigation and Organic Reaction. Miller received the President’s Award for Excellence in the Application of Science from University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science in 2001. Miller is also the two-time recipient of the Graduate Education Award for Excellence in Teaching from the MEES Graduate Student Association at the University of Maryland (both in 1998 and 2008).
