Dr. Miller is an Assistant Professor of Biological Psychology at California State
University, Fresno, and received his PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University
School of Medicine. Prior to graduate school, he studied Pre-Medicine, Psychology,
and Political Science as an undergraduate. He also taught high-school science for
three years in Atlanta, Georgia through Teach for America.
Dr. Miller is fascinated by the neuroscience of human emotion, cognition, and behavior and has
research interests in the neuroscience of mental disorders. His scientific research
aims to integrate knowledge from neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry to improve
our understanding of mental illness. His work uses a type of brain scan (fMRI) to
explore the underlying neural basis of depression and anxiety in order to improve
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these disorders. He is also interested in
translating these findings into improved diagnostic strategies and biological treatments
such as non-invasive stimulation methods.
