Miller, Kevin M - Murray State University

个人简介

Dr. Miller is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana, and attended the University of Dayton as an undergraduate, where he earned his B.S. in Chemistry (1998). He then attended the University of Notre Dame where he earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry (2003) under the advisorship of Dr. Xavier Creary. Dr. Miller then spent nearly seven years in industry with Rohm and Haas and Dow Chemical (2003-2010), working in the areas of PVC stabilizers, solvent and emulsion-based polymers and alternative cure technologies for the packaging adhesives industry. During his time in industry, Dr. Miller co-authored four peer-reviewed papers, was awarded one patent and contributed to the development of a number of commercial products. He then shifted to academia and spent a brief, six-month stay in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Tech as an Assistant Research Professor under the direction of Dr. Timothy E. Long. Dr. Miller then joined the Department of Chemistry at Murray State University in the fall of 2010 as an Assistant Professor. In 2015, Dr. Miller was promoted to Associate Professor. To date, Dr. Miller has mentored over a dozen undergraduate research students majoring in chemistry or biology and three Masters-degree seeking students, resulting in 14 peer-reviewed publications and numerous presentations and local, regional and national scientific meetings. His primary teaching responsibilities include organic and polymer chemistry and enjoys incorporating "real world" chemistry into the classroom.
