Backed by years of engineering expertise, Mr. McMillan starting in 2002 writes a monthly control talk column for Control Global, a control magazine. Likewise, he contributes to monthly question-and-answer (Q&A) posts for the International Society of Automation and weekly Q&A posts for Prosera. He excelled as a senior principal software engineer for Emerson Process Systems and Solutions, where he began as a modeling and control consultant in 2002. Over the years, Mr. McMillan also honed his expertise as a modeling and control consultant for CDI Professional Services and MYNAH Technologies.
Throughout his career, he has obtained patents for methods and systems for batch process control, wireless automation, and rapid model identification.
