Deon Terrell Miles is an American chemist who is professor of chemistry at the . His research considers the development of functionalised nanoparticles and chemistry education.
Miles was born in Gary, Indiana. He studied chemistry at Wabash College and graduated in 1997.[1] He won several awards for chemistry and was manager of the basketball team.[2] He delivered the commencement address. He was a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he worked with Royce W. Murray and studied functionalised nanoparticles.
In 2002 Miles joined, where he focusses on the development of nanoparticles and novel strategies for teaching chemistry.[3] At Sewanee, Miles delivered a course on the science of food and chemistry of cooking.[4]
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Miles developed homemade kits that could be used to teach students about spectroscopy and chromatography from home.[5]
Miles is married with two children. He is an ordained deacon at the Silverdale Baptist Church.
