Willard Miranker’s research has dealt with a variety of fields, including numerical mathematics, applied mathematics, and computer science. His recent interests are in consciousness studies, neural networks, both artificial neural nets and the neural networks which model cortical memory. He is also interested in quantum computing.

He is the author of several monographs in numerical mathematics and is an editor of the proceedings of several conferences on applied and numerical mathematics. He is a Fellow of the AAAS, and a recipient of the award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He has been an associate editor of COMPUTING, an advisory board member for the Journal of Parallel Computing, and since 1992, an advisory board member of the Journal of Neural, Parallel and Scientific Computation.
