He researches advanced healthcare infrastructure delivery models, interdisciplinary design and project management. He has been investigator on EPSRC, ESRC, NIHR and IUK research and directly funded by the Department of Health, European Investment Bank and World Health Organization. Recent research has investigated healthcare diagnostic hub design, augmented reality for hospitals delivery, flat-pack modular operating theatre configuration, healthcare infrastructure capital investment and advanced data analytics in AEC production control.
From March 2020 Prof Mills has been the Bartlett Faculty Lead for Health building an international reputation for Bartlett Health-related research, teaching and enterprise. In 2013 he completed his PhD on value in design at Loughborough University, prior to which he worked for AMEC Group Limited (a multi-disciplinary engineering firm) across Innovation and Technology, Design and Value Management departments.
Specialism is in the design and delivery of healthcare infrastructure facilities. Specifically, the evidence that supports the scale, scope and distribution of healthcare buildings (e.g. how they are therapeutically designed and engineered to be adaptable). This also involves, how technology is driving decentralization of care away from hospitals, advancing human capital and how infrastructure can respond to changing demographics, prevalence and innovation in care pathways to increase health outcomes. His research impacts health and healthcare infrastructure policy, planning and integrated project delivery. Involving the co-production of interdisciplinary research.
