Prof. Miller received his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in 1985, where he studied the dynamics of charge density waves under the direction of John Tucker and two-time Nobel Laureate John Bardeen.
Prof. Miller was a faculty member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill from 1986-1989, receiving the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in 1987.
In 1989, he joined the University of Houston as a faculty member in the Department of Physics and the Texas Center for Superconductivity. Prof. Miller’s research has included high-temperature superconductivity, charge transport in biological systems, and quantum properties of charge density waves.
