Dr. Meghan Miller

Biography

Meghan Miller is a professor at the Australian National University in the Research School of Earth Sciences, specializing in Geophysics. Her research focuses on poorly understood critical tectonic plate boundaries, particularly subduction zones where oceanic plates descend into the Earth's deep interior. She is interested in the processes and structures of the deep Earth that control geology observed at the surface, providing insights into the evolution of stable continents and their influence on subduction zones. Beginning in 2022, she has been awarded an ARC Future Fellowship to advance distributed acoustic sensing technology and big data processing, which will enable unprecedented high-resolution imaging of the Earth's subsurface and the detection of micro-seismicity related to geological processes. Miller's academic career includes appointments as a Visiting Associate at the California Institute of Technology, Assistant/Associate Professor at the University of Southern California, and Postdoctoral Research Associate at Rice University and the University of British Columbia. She holds a PhD in Geophysics from the Australian National University.
