The School of Chemical Engineering is pleased to welcome Dr. Jeffrey T. Miller as a full professor. Dr. Miller joined the School on Feb. 2, 2015.  He has served as an adjunct professor in the School since 2012.

He received his BS in chemistry from Memphis State University in 1971, an MS from the University of New Mexico in 1973, and a PhD in inorganic chemistry from Oregon State University in 1980. He has worked for the BP Chemicals Company and AMOCO Oil Company and is a member of the North American Catalysis Society. Most recently Dr. Miller worked as a senior scientist and group leader of the heterogeneous catalysis group at Argonne National Laboratory.

Dr. Miller already advises two graduate students and is part of the Purdue Catalysis Center. His research focuses on developing, testing and characterizing new catalytic materials for energy production. He has a special interest in the characterization of catalysts under realistic reaction conditions of high temperature and pressure, especially X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Advanced Photon Source.
