Dr. Miller received a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Delaware in 2001. After graduation, he took a job working in industry as a synthetic organic chemist. After over 3 years of industrial experience, he returned to school to complete a Ph.D. 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 University of Pennsylvania's (Penn) - Postdoctoral Opportunities in Research and Teaching (PENN-PORT) program, an NIH-sponsored postdoctoral fellowship. This allowed Dr. Miller to be a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Bioengineering at Penn, as well as serve as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Lincoln University. After accepting a position at Lincoln University as an Assistant Professor, as well as an Adjunct Assistant Professor position at Penn, 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 Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Dynamics (MD), computer-aided drug design (CADD), and protein-protein interactions. Dr. Miller is always looking forward to more opportunities for minority student development and enrichment in STEM-related disciplines.
