Glen P. Miller is a Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). He is a former Chair of the Chemistry Department, former Director of the Materials Science Program, and former Associate Director of the NSF funded Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for High-Rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) at UNH. He is an authority in the areas of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, acenes and other novel organic semiconductors. His group has successfully synthesized and characterized many nanostructures and organic compounds including C3v symmetric C60H18, bis and tris-[60]fullerene adducts of large acenes, hydrogenated SWNTs, fullerene nanotubes (a.k.a., fullerene nanowhiskers), long-lived acene derivatives including a water soluble pentacene derivative, as well as persistent heptacene and nonacene derivatives. He also developed a tip-based nanopatterning technique called FAN (Field-Assisted Nanopatterning) that has been demonstrated on organic compounds, polymers, fullerenes, metals, salts and nanoparticles. Glen Miller's current research focus includes the development of formally anti-aromatic organic semiconductors with exceptional electronic properties including vanishingly small HOMO-LUMO gaps.

In addition to his research activities, Glen Miller directed nanotechnology outreach activities for New Hampshire's K-16 teachers and students including an annual Nanotechnology K-12 Teachers Conference, the development of laboratory experiments for K-12 students, plus nanotech REU and RET programs.

The Miller Group is currently accepting new graduate students.
