Anne-Frances Miller is an American chemist who is a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Kentucky. Her research looks to understand the structure-property relationships of the enzymes involved in energy conversion.
Miller was born in Toronto and attended the Toronto French School.[1] She was an undergraduate student at the University of Guelph, where she studied genetics and physics and was the Winnegard gold medalist.[2] She completed her doctorate in physical chemistry at Yale University. Her doctorate investigated the catalytic manganese complex of photosystem II.[3] She moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology then Brandeis University as a postdoctoral fellow.[4]
Miller has dedicated her career to understanding the structure-property relationships of the enzymes involved in energy conversion. She looked to unravel the mechanisms behind the energy efficiency of biological systems and strategies they used to optimize energy storage.[5]
Alongside her scientific research, Miller has developed new courses to introduce chemistry to a diverse cohort of students. She led the nuclear magnetic resonance facility at the University of Kentucky.[6]
