Dr. Owen Miller

Biography

Owen Miller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Yale University. His research focuses on theoretical aspects of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, particularly in the context of wave systems at micro and nanoscale levels. The Miller Group specializes in design optimization for wave systems utilizing computational theory. Current projects include bounds wave scattering, computational design, near-field optical physics, and solar cell design principles. The group's work aims to open design spaces in various fields such as photonics and elastodynamics through efficient exploration of high-dimensional spaces and the development of analytical techniques. They investigate new phenomena and discover fundamental response limits of devices. His research applies to areas like photovoltaics, near-field optics, thermal radiation, and nanoparticle scatterers, with the goal of describing and discovering the fundamental performance limits of devices while designing them to approach those limits.
