Biography
Miller grew up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico. His family lived in the small resort town of Red River. His parents were owners of the small beginner ski area at the Powder Puff mountain, and later Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski Area. He attended school in Questa, New Mexico, where many descendants of the original Spanish conquistadores live, some speaking a sixteenth-century dialect of Spanish. He was a slalom, giant slalom, and downhill ski racer, first on the Red River and later on the Taos ski teams. While an undergraduate, he was a member of the Northwestern University Ski Team, acting as both captain and coach during one season.
After completing his high school, Miller completed his
Soon after completion of his PhD, he was awarded a prestigious
Scientific contributions
While exploring biomedical applications of novel superconducting devices (such as
His group has also been involved with computational studies of localization of electron holes in the DNA, finding a correlation between sites of hole localization and nucleotide positions of human mutations in mitochondrial DNA. This has led to a (experimental as yet) computational DNA hole spectroscopy method, which they discuss in a publication,[15] in collaboration with the reputed UH evolutionary biologist Ricardo Azevedo.
Miller in association with his colleagues has recently proposed the idea of "
