Benjamin Miller
Professor of Dermatology, Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Biomedical Engineering
University of Rochester Medical Center


Prof. Benjamin L. Miller completed his undergraduate studies at Miami University (Ohio), receiving degrees in Chemistry (B.S.), Mathematics (A.B.), and German (A.B.) in 1988. He next moved to Stanford University, where he carried out his Ph. D. research in Chemistry. Following a stint as an NIH postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, he joined the University of Rochester faculty in 1996. His group’s expertise in molecular recognition, combinatorial chemistry, nanotechnology, and sensing has been applied to the development of novel optical biosensor platforms and synthetic compounds targeting several human diseases. In the context of these projects, Miller’s group relies on a variety of computational resources for small molecule conformational analysis and quantum chemistry, as well as modeling fluid flows in “lab on a chip” devices and the interaction of light with candidate optical sensor designs. He is currently Professor of Dermatology, Biochemistry and Biophysics, and Biomedical Engineering.
