Dr. Miller received a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Delaware in 2001. After over 3 years of industrial experience, he returned to school for a PhD in Theoretical/Computational Chemistry from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (St. Joseph’s University) in 2012. After graduate school, he was given a unique opportunity through the NIH’s Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. After accepting a position at Lincoln University as an Assistant Professor, he moved on to Loyola University Chicago (2019), where he is faculty in the Department of Medicine, Department of Pharmacology & Neuroscience, and Bioinformatics. Dr. Miller’s research involves using computational chemistry techniques, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD), for the design and study of small molecular (organic) compounds, organometallic and inorganic compounds, computer-aided drug design (CADD), protein-protein interactions, and structural electronic effects.
