Scott Miller is designated
the Irénée duPont Professor
Complex molecule synthesis is one of the key disciplines of modern chemical
research. Miller and his laboratory team are investigating reaction design,
development and application. Their work focuses on the discovery of a series
of new chemical transformations which enable the rapid synthesis of stereochemically
complex structures, the development of new catalysts for the selective functionalization
of these molecules and the molecular interactions which are responsible for
reaction selectivities.
A graduate of Harvard University, where he earned his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees,
Miller joined the Yale faculty in 2006 after teaching for a decade at Boston
College. Over the course of his career, he has received numerous awards for
his work, including a National Science Foundation Career Award, Research Corporation’s
Research Innovation Award and Cottrell Scholar Award, the Novartis Chemistry
Lectureship Award, the DuPont Young Professor Award, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar
Award, the Glaxo-Wellcome Chemistry Scholar Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship,
the Pfizer Award for Creativity in Organic Chemistry, the Arthur C. Cope Scholar
Award from the American Chemical Society and the Boehringer-Ingelheim Cares
Foundation Award.
Miller’s other honors include grants and fellowships from Eli Lily and
the Merck Chemistry Council. He was a Robert Burns Woodward Visiting Scholar
at Harvard in 2005. He has served on the National Academies’ Board on
Chemical Sciences and Technology.
