Lucas Miller biography
Science speaker Lucas Miller is a cognitive neuroscientist, lecturer at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, and co-founder of Becoming Superhuman, a research-driven productivity firm that teaches busy leaders how to do their most important work in less time and with less stress. At 21, Miller authored Beyond Brilliance: The Blueprint for Learning Anything, a book that has helped more than 25,000 students at Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Exeter improve their grades, reduce stress, and sharpen cognitive performance.
Miller earned his bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley, graduating in the top 1% of his class while conducting research on attention and memory. He now teaches one of Berkeley Haas’ most popular MBA electives, “Becoming Superhuman: The Science of Productivity and Performance,” and co-runs the Becoming Superhuman Lab alongside Sahar Yousef. Their work translates frontier neuroscience into protocols that high-performing teams can apply on Monday morning.
From Research Lab to Executive Boardroom
Miller has consulted with executive teams at JP Morgan, Google, Visa, and Coinbase, helping leaders rewire how they manage focus, energy, and decision-making in always-on environments. His work has been featured in Wired and The Wall Street Journal, and his Becoming Superhuman platform packages his research into training for knowledge workers worldwide. He blends behavioral science with practical tools — sleep, recovery, attention management, habit design — that help individuals and organizations sustain peak performance without burning out.
His core conviction is simple: once you understand how the brain learns, adapts, and recovers, you can excel at almost anything. That principle shapes his teaching, his consulting, and his keynotes, which combine the rigor of laboratory research with the warmth of a mentor who has seen what actually moves the needle for executives, students, and teams.
As a speaker, Lucas Miller delivers talks, workshops, and multi-week sprints that give audiences a working blueprint for focus, productivity, and personal performance. Organizations book him to help their teams cultivate a growth mindset, defend deep work in distracting environments, and build the sleep, nutrition, and movement habits that underpin sustained high output.
