Troy Miller is a research scientist with a passion for overcoming biological challenges in growing plants in space. He has a keen interest in plant molecular biology, genetic engineering, and energy metabolism, particularly in relation to abiotic stress tolerance. Currently, he holds the position of Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space at the University of Western Australia, where he is developing plants with improved hypoxia tolerance while working with Professor Harvey Millar. Miller completed his honours degree in Biotechnology at Flinders University in South Australia, where he explored the use of CRISPR/Cas9 for plant gene editing. He has experience as a Research Assistant at Flinders University, researching abiotic stress tolerance in legumes under the supervision of Emeritus Professors David Day and Crystal Sweetman. He began his PhD in plant molecular biology at Flinders University, focusing on improving nitrogen fixation in chickpeas, with an expected completion date in mid-2024.
