Anne-Frances Miller
Anne-Frances Miller is the Gill Eminent Professor of the College of Arts and Sciences, University of Kentucky. Prof. Miller earned her PhD in chemistry at Yale University and did postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in BioInorganic Chemistry and Brandeis University with one of the inventors of biological NMR spectroscopy. She is known internationally for her work on redox enzymes, Nature's super-catalysts for transferring electrons or mediating oxidations. She has been an invited speaker in Israel, Japan, Canada, Austria, France, Germany, The Netherlands and all across the United States. Her work is funded by three external grants (DOE, NSF, Einstein Foundation Berlin) and has attracted international collaborations to Kentucky. She has published 115 peer-reviewed articles earning an H-index of 42. She has been cited >5,500 times by others in >4,500 papers by other authors, and 17 of her papers have been cited ≥ 100 times. Thus, her research is impactful as well as fundamental. Her teaching is not necessarily popular, due in part to the standards she maintains, but her students give her fond credit for later success and recommend her courses to others. Her Plant Pigments, Fibers and Fragrances course makes chemical concepts accessible to rural audiences and non-scientists via textile art. Miller was the president of the Biochemistry and Chemical Biology division of the American Chemical Society and currently serves on the Publications Committee of the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, as well as the SNS-HFIR Users Group executive (SNS = spallation neutron source, HFIR = high-flux isotope reactor). She thanks the organizers of this meeting for bringing together such a wonderful community and superlative science.
